Alstom has delivered the first Coradia Meridian “Jazz” train to the Campania region in Italy, at the Napoli railway station. This train is part of the regional trains ordered by Trenitalia from Alstom in November 2012.
“Jazz” is the latest train coming from Alstom’s Coradia Meridian range. It is an EMU type train that can run at a maximum speed of 160 km/h. Its concentrated traction system with two motor bogies optimises the electrical braking capability of the train allowing energy consumption and brake wear to be reduced. It is an environmentally friendly train with a 95% rate of recyclability.
All the 12 trains for Campania region will be delivered by the end of December 2016.
“Coradia Meridian is a successful train already circulating in 10 Italian regions, from north to south. With this train, Campania region will improve the experience of its passengers. Coradia Meridian is a train made in Italy, and benefits from Alstom’s experience in regional transportation,” said Pierre Louis Bertina, Managing Director of Alstom in Italy.
