Alstom wins landmark contract to deliver up to 200
regional trains in Norway
- Framework agreement with Norske Tog worth at least €1.8 billion
to provide up to 200 Coradia Nordic trains
- First firm order of 30 trains worth €380 million
11 January 2022 – Alstom, global leader
in smart and sustainable mobility, has signed a framework contract
with Norske Tog (NT)1 allowing for the provision of up to 200
Coradia Nordic regional trains. Valued at over €1.8 billion, the
contract constitutes the most significant rail procurement in
Norway’s history. The first firm order of 30 trains is worth €380
million.
Delivery of Norske Tog’s new “Class 77” regional
trains is scheduled to begin in 2025. Once in service, this new
fleet will begin operations as a suburban and fast rail service,
connecting Ski and Stabekk in the greater Oslo region.
“We look forward to being able to offer improved
capacity, comfort and mobile coverage to our commuters,” says
Øystein Risan, Managing Director of Norske Tog.
“We are truly pleased that Norske Tog has
selected Alstom to build their future fleet of trains. We are proud
to contribute to increasing capacity on busy lines in the Oslo and
Viken area. The chosen Coradia
Nordic trains are fully
suitable for Norwegian weather conditions.
Furthermore, this order confirms Alstom’s leading position in
Norway, as we are already equipping the entire Norwegian fleet with
a new signalling solution,” says Rob Whyte, Managing Director of
Alstom Nordics.
The Coradia Nordic for Norske Tog has been
specially adapted to meet the needs of the Norwegian rail network.
Its top speed of 160 km/h ensures a swift and comfortable commute
in a spacious and relaxing environment. Each trainset will consist
of six single-deck coaches for a total capacity of 778 passengers,
offering 40% higher capacity than the trains they replace. The new
trains will be equipped with the latest ETCS2 signalling system.
The system will feature a world-first advanced odometry solution
designed for the harshest winter conditions.
Coradia Nordic is a state-of-the-art, low-floor,
highly versatile family of electric multiple unit trains designed
to meet the demands of regional and intercity transport in Nordic
countries. A modular design allows operators to choose the
configuration and interior that work best for their market and
commercial strategy. 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
Norske Tog’s assets. Nearly 300 Coradia Nordic trains have been
delivered to customers in Nordic countries so far.
Alstom will assemble the trains for Norske Tog
at its site in Salzgitter, Germany. The project office with project
and contract management, product commissioning, testing,
documentation, training and warranty will be executed within
Norway.
Alstom’s Coradia range meets today’s demands in
regional and intercity transport and features trains that have
proved themselves in operation for over thirty years. To date,
Alstom has sold 3,300 Coradia trains worldwide. The Coradia range
offers electrical and diesel traction, along with other innovative
emission-free solutions, such as battery and hydrogen powered
traction, for non-electrified lines.
