The Pesa Atribo is an articulated diesel multiple unit for regional train services made by Pesa SA of Poland.

The Atribo is a development of the earlier Pesa 218M. It features a low floor and is designed for regional, non-electrified lines. The train features two toilets, one of which is accessible to disabled people. The trains can operate with up to three sets in multiple. The Italian version has 21 seats in first class (in the 2 + 1) and 129 fixed and 4 tip-up seats in the 2nd class. The Polish version is second class only having 150 fixed seats and 7 tip-up seats. Atribo is equipped with visual and acoustic passenger information system.

Trenitalia sets have a Voith engine, producing less noise and lower emissions.

The contract with the Ferrovie del Sud Est for the delivery of 13 Atribo sets was signed on June 12, 2006. On February 26, 2007 FSE using the options included in the signed contract, expanded the order to 23 units. Deliveries began on July 15, 2008. In March 2010, signed a new contract for the next 4 sets.

FSE uses its Pesa Atribo's in the region of Apulia. They operate services around Bari, Martina Franca, Taranto and Lecce.

FNM ordered two Pesa Atribo sets on February 17, 2009. They were handed over to the operator on April 9, 2009 in Brescia. The trains are allocated to operate the route Brescia - Iseo - Edolo.

On May 19, 2009 a contract was signed with the Ferrovie Emilia Romagna for 8 Atribo sets to operate on the Bologna - Portomaggiore and Casalecchio - Vignola lines. The first three sets were delivered on June 25, 2009. Later, an agreement was signed for the delivery of 4 additional units.

The region signed an agreement on January 29, 2010 for the purchase of 10 Atribo sets with the option of adding another 2 units, of which the options were taken up in September 2010. The first two units were delivered on June 25, and June 27, 2010 and started their operation in the West Pomeranian Regional Transport Department. Further units were delivered at a rate of one or two a month until January 28, 2011.

Vehicles are assigned to the depot in Kolobrzeg. Trains were allocated primarily to operate the Szczecin - Kolobrzeg (- Koszalin) and Szczecin - Szczecinek services. Vehicles occasionally operate the Koszalin - Mielno Koszalin route, supported mainly by Class SA103 and Slawno - Darlowo supported mainly by Classes SA109 and SA110. In case of failure of Western Pomeranian Class EN57, Atribo sets replace them on the electrified routes such as Szczecin - Białogard, Szczecin - Gryfino and Szczecin - Kamien Pomorski.
