A 6-part version of the Coradia Meridian, known as the ETR.526 series, was procured for the Autonomous Province of Trento . The brand name Jazz is not used on these trains, although they are operated by Trenitalia. Externally, the vehicles are recognizable by their contrasting white and burgundy paintwork of the province of Trento. The seats in the passenger compartment are covered with high-quality burgundy-colored loden instead of the usual dark blue synthetic leather.
