The two-part Dutch electric multiple unit Plan V - better known in the Netherlands as Mat '64 or under the nickname Apekop (monkey head) - became one of the Dutch State Railways' standard local trains from the mid-1960s. With a total of 246 units, it was the most frequently built NS multiple unit at the time.
Plan V1 and V2 were delivered in a green color scheme with sand yellow decorative stripes. The Plan V of the 3rd series were painted yellow at the factory in 1968. The multiple units that had been delivered earlier were also repainted yellow between 1969 and 1973. Until they were decommissioned, the multiple units were used on almost all electrified railway lines in the Netherlands.
