Hungarian regional operator GYSEV Zrt. and Stadler signed a contract for the delivery of 10 four-car Flirt type electric multiple units for regional operation. The project’s value is 68.45 million EUR and is financed entirely from EU funds.
The first vehicles are expected to start service in 2018 in Western Hungary, while the last one is due to arrive until January 2019. With the current and earlier orders GYSEV will possess a fleet consisting of altogether 20 state-of-the-art Flirt units.
Between 2013 and 2015 the railway operator purchased already 10 EMUs from Stadler within the frames of two separate public procurements. The existing fleet is currently operating on the Sopron-Szombathely-Szentgotthárd, Sopron-Győr and the Szombathely-Rajka lines.
The 77.1 m long and 2.82 m wide four-car EMUs have altogether 208 seats (194 fixed and 14 folding). Their maximum speed is 160 km/h.
