Stadler and Go-Ahead signed a contract for the supply of 22-four car Flirt trains which will be used on the Allgäu E network in Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria.
The contract with a ‘low three-figure million euro order volume’ was signed during InnoTrans 2018.
“With the supply contract for the Allgäu electric network we have now concluded our fourth contract with Stadler. One of the cornerstones of our high-quality operations are the state-of-the-art vehicles,” said Stefan Krispin, Managing Director of Go-Ahead Verkehrsgesellschaft Deutschland GmbH.
Starting December 2021, the new trains will operate Munich-Memmingen-Lindau route.
With these new trains, Go-Ahead currently owns 88 Flirt railcars in various configurations and features.
The state-of-the-art passenger information system and the Wi-Fi in the vehicles themselves help those travelling to receive up-to-the-minute journey updates. The trains travel at a maximum speed of 160 km/h.
The four-cars vehicles are designed in the traditional Bavarian blue and white and they are fitted with security systems, passenger spaces being monitored via cameras. 395 people can travel in the 74-metre long railcars. The particularly large multi-purpose areas provide space for transporting up to 21 bicycles, bulky luggage, pushchairs and prams. Wheelchair spaces are installed according to TSI PRM.
