Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) unveiled its new Twindexx Express IR 200 long-distance EMU at Bombardier’s Villeneuve plant in western Switzerland on June 8.
The SFr 1.86bn (USD 1.99bn) contract for 59 trains was signed in May 2010 and is SBB’s largest-ever rolling stock procurement, as well as being the first ever order for tilting double-deck EMUs. Last November Bombardier agreed to supply three additional trains additional trains together with spare parts as compensation for late delivery, on the condition that the pre-series trains meet SBB’s quality requirements.
