The NS Mat '64 or Materieel '64 are electric multiple units (EMU) built by Werkspoor and later by Duewag and Waggonfabrik Talbot between 1961 and 1976. They were operated in the Netherlands by the Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS) until 2016, and temporarily returned to service in 2025. The equipment consists of independent four and two-car train sets called Plan T and Plan V: the Plan T is a 4-car EMU, and the Plan V is a 2-car EMU. Materieel '64 is sometimes nicknamed 'Apekoppen' (literal translation: 'monkey heads') and 'Standaard Stoptrein' ('Standard stopping train') due to their distinct shape. Plan V was the largest series of Nederlandse Spoorwegen rolling stock for many years, with 246 units (although only 245 were present at the same time) already built until it was supplanted by NS VIRM. A number of train sets were also leased to and used by various regional carriers. Materieel '64 served for 55 years, from 1961 to 2016, on the Dutch railway network.
