The Sprinters were ordered to replace older railmotors (DRC's and DERM's) that were still in service. They were all built by Gonanin in NSW from 1991 and brought down to Victoria by rail on transfer bogies to enter service in 1993 onwards. All of the class have been put through V/line refurbishment program which included a repaint into the Cheeseburger livery and a refit of the interior.
