times for passengers in Germany’s Hesse region
April 4,
2022 – Alstom, leader in smart and sustainable
mobility, has signed a contract with Germany’s DB Regio AG (DB) for
29 Coradia Stream High-Capacity electric double-deck multiple
units1. The trains will be used on the RE50 (Frankfurt - Fulda -
Bebra) and RB51 (Frankfurt - Wächtersbach) lines starting December
2025.
"Following the contract awarded by LNVG for the
Bremen/Lower Saxony express interchange in 2021 and the contract
with DB Regio for the Main-Weser subnetwork at the end of last
year, we are extremely pleased that we have also convinced DB with
our offer of Coradia Stream HC trains for the RE50 and RB51 lines,"
said Müslüm Yakisan,
President of Alstom Region DACH. "This
shows once again that our state-of-the-art high-capacity concept
perfectly meets today's needs for regional mobility in
Germany."
The Coradia Stream HC offers a high level of
passenger comfort. It features four-seat groups with large tables
in first class and small wall-mounted tables in second class. Power
sockets at seats and free WLAN are also standard in the new trains.
The Coradia Stream High-Capacity is designed to provide
barrier-free access to all doors at most stations. This is possible
thanks to the uniform boarding height of 600 millimetres. The train
also offers 30 bicycle parking spaces, an asset for leisure riders
and bicycle commuters.
"The new electric double-deck multiple-unit
trains accelerate faster. This allows for a tighter interval,
reducing travel time on the RE50 between Frankfurt and Fulda by an
average of eight minutes. In the future, the RE50 will even run to
Bebra every hour during rush hour. With enlarged service and a high
level of travel comfort, these new vehicles will make local
transport in Kinzigtal much more attractive for passengers," says
Maik Dreser, Chairman of
the Regional Management DB Regio Mitte.
"These new trains will enable us to offer over
1,080 seats between Frankfurt and Eastern Hesse at peak times, and
840 seats during normal hours compared to the previous 720," said
Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund
Managing Director Prof. Knut
Ringat. "In addition, the trains offer more
comfort with power sockets at the seat and tables, as well as free
WLAN. With the combination of more space, more comfort, and faster
journeys, our passengers benefit quite considerably from the new
Alstom vehicles. The trains are expected to enter service in
Kinzigtal from December 2025 and between Frankfurt, Central Hesse
and Kassel even a year earlier."
DB Regio will continue to operate the RE50 and
RB51 lines beyond the timetable change planned for December 14th,
2025, following a call for tenders by Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund
and Nordhessischer Verkehrsverbund. Alstom will produce the trains
for the Kinzig Valley Railway in Salzgitter. The project office
with project and contract management, validation and commissioning,
documentation and training will also be in Germany.
Alstom’s Coradia range meets today’s demands for
regional and intercity transport featuring trains in operation
demonstrated for over thirty years. To date, Alstom has sold more
than 3,300 Coradia trains worldwide. Several European countries,
including Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Italy,
already benefit from their performance and comfort. 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.
