Baden-Württemberg railway operator HzL Hohenzollerische Landesbahn awarded Alstom a EUR 50 million contract for the supply of 10 Coradia Lint regional trains. The diesel multiple units will be built in Alstom’s plant in Salzgitter and delivered by May 2019 to run on the RE Ulm-Aalen, RB Ulm-Langenau and RB Ulm-Munderkingen lines (Vergabenetz 12 “Ulmer Stern”).
The Coradia Lint 54 is a low-consumption DMU that can reach a maximum operating speed of 140 km/h with high acceleration rate. The 2-car trains ordered by HzL have an access height of 628 mm and a total seat capacity of 150 passengers and include 18 bike stances. They feature convenient, spacious seat layout with tables for lap-tops at most of every fixed seat. The trains are all equipped with Wi-Fi, entertainment and passenger information system with monitors for static and dynamic information, as well as video surveillance guaranteeing a high level of passenger safety.
“With this contract Alstom’s Coradia Lint will for the first time serve in the Baden-Württemberg region. Alstom’s well-proven regional trains will be a real enrichment for the region and bring passenger comfort to a new level,” says Jochen Slabon, Sales Director for Alstom in Germany and Austria.
