Stadler Rail Group has delivered the 100th low-floor electric FLIRT train to Hungary. The company received several orders in the last years for altogether 112 FLIRT trains from Hungarian railway operators: 102 from MÁV and 10 from GYSEV. Since starting operation in 2007, the trains have run a total of 80 million kilometres on the Hungarian railway lines.
The 100th FLIRT, which belongs to the fleet of MÁV, started service after successfully completing the official running test supervised by the National Transport Authority. All of the 10 FLIRT EMUs ordered by GYSEV are already in operation, while out of MÁV-START’s 102 vehicles, 90 have been put into service so far. The remaining 12 MÁV EMUs will be delivered until 30 September.
For the 112 FLIRT units Stadler received orders by winning 3 different public procurements. The first contract for 30+30 trains for the Hungarian Railways was signed in 2006, followed by GYSEV’s order for 4 units. Stadler won the latest procurement issued jointly by MÁV and GYSEV in 2013 for 42+6 EMUs.
