Alstom will start delivering from summer 2018, 27 additional Coradia Meridian “Jazz” regional trains to Trenitalia. This new order, booked in the first half of the fiscal year 2017/2018, is worth EUR 170 million and is exercised as an option to the contract signed in 2012, brings Trenitalia’s fleet of “Jazz” trains to 118 units. The deliveries are planned to finish in the summer 2019.
The new EMU can run at a maximum speed of 160 km/h, offering accessibility for all thanks to its low floor. Designed to be eco-friendly, Coradia Meridian is 95% recyclable.

Traction systems and auxiliary switchers are designed and manufactured at Alstom’s plant in Sesto San Giovanni (near Milan) . Trainborne signalling systems are delivered by the Bologna site.
