27 May
2021 – Alstom has received an
order from Hessische Landesbahn GmbH (HLB) to supply 32 Coradia
Continental electric multiple units. The order is divided into a
total of twelve 4-unit and 20 5-unit trains and has a total value
of around €200 million. The trains will be deployed on the Central
Hesse subnetwork operated by HLB starting in December 2023 and will
operate on the following lines:
• Line RB37: Kirchain to Frankfurt Central Station via Marburg
and Giessen• Line RB40: Dillenburg to Frankfurt Central Station via
Gießen • Line RB41: Schwalmstadt to Frankfurt Central Station via
Treysa and Giessen• Line RB49: Giessen to Hanau Central Station via
Freidburg
“We are delighted that Hessische Landesbahn has once again opted
for our state-of-the-art electric multiple units. The Coradia
Continental is the perfect solution for regional transport in
Central Hesse. Reliable, fast, and quiet, it offers maximum
passenger comfort and generous space for bicycles and luggage. I am
particularly pleased that HLB has once again put its trust in
Alstom, 35 identical trains have been running very reliably on
HLB's Southern Hesse-Untermain subnetwork since 2018”, says
Müslüm Yakisan, President of
Alstom in Germany, Austria and
Switzerland.
The Coradia Continental reaches an operating
speed of up to 160 km/h and offers 200 and 280 seats respectively
as four- and five-section units. Various multi-purpose areas keep
sufficient space available for wheelchairs, bicycles, and baby
carriages. The trains' drive equipment is located on the roof, so
the interior is generously proportioned, including a wide,
step-free aisle for better passenger flow. In particular, an
adapted boarding height, combined with additional sliding steps,
also ensures very comfortable vehicle access. The Coradia
Continental is equipped with Wi-Fi, electrical outlets for charging
devices, as well as video surveillance and a real-time passenger
information system that displays rail connection info.
“We have had a great experience with this
vehicle in southern Hesse in terms of maintenance, reliability and
passenger comfort. Therefore, we are pleased to begin using the
Coradia Continental trains in our new Central Hesse network
starting in December 2023,” says Veit Salzmann, Managing
Director of Hessische Landesbahn.
Alstom's Coradia series of modular trains
benefit from more than 30 years of continuous development and
proven technical solutions. More than 3,300 Coradia trains have
been sold to date and around 2,900 are currently operating in
Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands,
Sweden and Canada.
