Deutsche Bahn Regio awarded Alstom two contracts valuated at EUR 300 million for the supply of 53 Coradia Continental electric multiple units. The trains are scheduled to enter into service between 2019 and 2020 in the German states of North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate, and Bavaria. All vehicles will be built at Alstom’s production site in Salzgitter, Germany.
The two orders include 27 four-car trains that will operate in the suburban network of Nuremberg from December 2018 and 26 three- and five-car trains that will take up service in North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate.
These orders are part of a frame contract concluded by the two companies in 2012 for the delivery of up to 400 Coradia Continental trains. The first 28 vehicles of this contract have already been in successful service since 2014.
