14th November
2019 – Alstom will deliver 19 Coradia Continental
electric regional trains to the state of Baden-Württemberg. The
contract, signed with DB Regio, is worth approximately €120
million. The trains will be built at Alstom’s site in
Salzgitter.
Beginning in December 2022, the new trains will
be gradually deployed on the routes from Karlsruhe to Heilbronn,
Achern, as well as via Freudenstadt to Herrenberg.
The new trains have been designed to optimise
passenger experience while meeting the region’s operational
requirements. In addition to high-performance WiFi, they will
include spacious multi-purpose areas in each car and a large
capacity for bicycles. The trains are specifically designed to cope
with the steep gradients that punctuate the tracks running through
the Black Forest.
“Passengers in the Karlsruhe region can look
forward to modern, proven and reliable trains. Our trains not only
satisfy passengers, but are also known for outstanding reliability
and availability, thus offering absolute planning security for
operators,” says Jörg Nikutta, Managing Director of Alstom in
Germany and Austria.
The Coradia Continental is part of Alstom's
Coradia range of modular trains that benefits from more than 30
years of know-how. To date, over 2,800 Coradia trains have been
sold and 2,400 are currently in service in Denmark, France,
Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Sweden and Canada.
The new vehicles will be procured by DB Regio AG
on behalf of the Ministry of Transport of the state of
Baden-Württemberg as the responsible public transport authority for
this network. After delivery of the vehicles, they become the
property of the Landesanstalt Schienenfahrzeuge Baden-Württemberg
(SFBW) and are leased by DB Regio for the term of the 13-year
transport contract.
