Alstom is to supply SNCF Mobilités with 30 trains from its Coradia platform, for an amount worth approximately EUR 250 million. Delivery of the new trains is scheduled from September 2018 onwards.
The 30 new trains come in three layouts: 19 trains with main line comfort levels, including ten 110-metre dual-mode trains and nine 72-metre electric trains, and eleven 72-metre dual-mode trains with regional comfort levels. The trains will be able to accommodate 165 passengers in their short version or 300 passengers in their long version.
These 30 new trains will benefit several routes: Paris – Amiens – Boulogne, services to Montluçon from Paris and Bourges, Clermont-Ferrand – Nîmes (Cévenol), Toulouse – Hendaye, as well as lines in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region (Bordeaux – La Rochelle, Bordeaux – Limoges). They are in addition to the 34 Coradia Liner trains ordered in October 2013 for the Intercity lines, the first of which were delivered to SNCF Mobilités in November 2016.
“The first Coradia Liner Intercity trains, which run at 160 km/h, were approved and delivered at the end of 2016 and placed into commercial service in February 2017. This additional order is excellent news and will ensure the workload of our Reichshoffen site for 2018,” says Jean-Baptiste Eyméoud, President of Alstom in France.
