history
Alstom wins largest railway
contract in Denmark’s history
First order from landmark framework agreement with DSB covers
100 Coradia Stream trains and 15 years of maintenance
17 June
2021 – Alstom, global leader in
smart and sustainable mobility, has won the largest train tender in
Danish rail history. Part of a landmark framework agreement with
Danish State Railways (DSB) valued at a total of €2.6 billion, the
first firm order of 100 Coradia Stream regional trains as well as a
15-year full-service maintenance agreement amounts to a value of
€1.4 billion. The framework agreement includes an additional 15
years of maintenance services and the possibility to order
additional trainsets.
Delivery of DSB’s “Fremtidens Tog – Nye Tog”
(Trains of the Future – New Trains) is scheduled to begin in the
last quarter of 2024. Once in service, this new fleet will operate
as a regional and fast rail service and connect Denmark’s
Frederikshavn region in the north to Rødby in the southeast after
passing through the capital city of Copenhagen.
“We are of course extremely pleased that DSB has
selected Alstom to build their ‘Trains of the Future’. This further
cements Alstom’s position as the reliable, world-leading train
manufacturer of choice. At the same time, we already have a number
of long-term maintenance agreements around Europe, which means that
we come with a robust services set-up that supports the fleet’s
reliability,” said Rob Whyte, Managing Director of Alstom
Nordics.
The Coradia Stream for DSB has been specially
adapted to meet the needs of the Danish rail network and its top
speed of 200 km/h will help ensure swift mobility across the
country. Each trainset will consist of five single- deck coaches
with a total seating capacity for 300 passengers. The trains will
be pre-fitted with Alstom’s Atlas onboard ETCS Baseline 31, as well
as an STM2 interface enabling it to operate on Denmark’s legacy
signalling system.
“Once in service, Coradia Stream will deliver an
exceptional travel experience. This modern, premium quality, and
stylish electric train combines innovation, sustainability and high
comfort – something we look forward to presenting to passengers in
Denmark,” says Rob Whyte.
Coradia Stream is a state-of-the-art, low-floor,
high-performance electric multiple unit (EMU). This standardised
train is a single, versatile platform which meets today’s demands
of regional & intercity transport. Coradia Stream offers a
modular design to allow operators to choose the configuration and
interior that work best for their market and commercial strategy.
In total, almost 400 trains based on the Coradia Stream platform
have already been ordered by Italy, Luxembourg, and the
Netherlands, ensuring the trains are a well-proven product. The
platform offers emission-free solutions such as battery or hydrogen
for non-electrified lines. A special high-capacity solution
completes the portfolio. In addition, Alstom’s sustainable approach
to services considers the entire life cycle of the product, from
initial design to end of life, which will maximize the value of
DSB’s assets.
Alstom will assemble the trains for DSB at its
site in Salzgitter, Germany.
