9 May
2022 – Alstom,
global leader in smart and sustainable mobility, has signed a
contract to supply 130 Coradia Stream High Capacity (HC) electric
double-deck trains to Landesanstalt Schienenfahrzeuge
Baden-Württemberg (SFBW) for the Baden-Württemberg network, in
Germany. In addition to the delivery of the trains, Alstom has been
contracted to provide full-service maintenance for a period of 30
years to ensure the trains’ seamless availability. Furthermore, the
contract reserves an option to order up to 100 additional trains.
With a value of almost 2.5 billion euro for the first 130 trains
and their maintenance for over 30 years, this is the largest order
for Alstom in Germany to date.
“This contract undoubtedly marks a milestone in
the cooperation between Alstom and the state of Baden-Württemberg.
State-of-the-art trains like our Coradia Stream High Capacity are
the best answer to the question of how to meet the growing need for
sustainable and future-proof mobility solutions in Germany,” said
Müslüm Yakisan, President of Alstom Region DACH.
“I am extremely pleased that our high-capacity concept is appealing
to SFBW and that Alstom was selected as the preferred partner for
the future of mobility in Baden-Württemberg. This decision is proof
that our green and digital solutions optimally address today and
tomorrow’s needs for regional mobility in Germany.”
“When awarding the contract, we set very high
standards for the performance and technology of the vehicles. In
terms of passenger comfort, we are setting new standards in
regional rail transport that have not yet been achieved in Germany.
These trains are sprinters in local transport. We want to attract
many additional passengers with these trains,” said
Winfried Hermann, Minister of Transport
Baden-Württemberg. “Alstom has to ensure seamless
operational capability of the trains on a daily basis within the
framework of the so-called life cycle model (LCC model). Care was
also taken to ensure that, despite very powerful vehicles with a
top speed of 200 km/h, we also get very energy-efficient vehicles.
Alstom will also be responsible for energy consumption for the
duration of the contract.”
“Regarding the vehicle design, we have paid
particular attention to passenger comfort. There will be reclining
seats, well-designed seating landscapes, areas for people with
reduced mobility, as well as an innovative lighting concept and
strong Wi-Fi,” adds Volker M. Heepen, Managing
Director Landesanstalt Schienenfahrzeuge
Baden-Württemberg.
The four-car trains consist of two double-deck
control cars and two single-deck middle cars, for a total of 380
seats. They have a length of 106 metres and can operate in multiple
traction. The trains are built according to SFBW requirements and
contribute to modern transport in the region. Air conditioning,
free Wi-Fi, numerous charging options for mobile phones and
laptops, as well as reading lamps contribute to a pleasant travel
experience.
Additionally, lounge areas, conference and
family compartments offer a high level of comfort, whereas
multi-purpose compartments offer space for large luggage, prams,
and bicycles. Wide single-leaf doors and optimised opening and
closing times allow for a quick entry and exit. As for passengers
with reduced mobility, they can enjoy the luxury of travelling with
the same comfort as other passengers. For example, the doorsills of
the vehicles allow step-free access from the standard platform with
760 mm above the top of the rails, and for stations with different
platform heights, there are special lifts in the car for passengers
in wheelchairs.
The trains are also equipped with modern
signalling and automation technology in the scope of the lighthouse
project known as "Digital Node Stuttgart" (DKS), Germany’s first
digitised railway node. They will start operation in 2025 at the
same time as the first two sections of the DKS. The subsequent
upgrading of the vehicles to TSI CCS 2022, the future evolution of
the European standard for cross-border traffic in the European
Economic Area, will be deployed until mid-2027. This will allow all
three sections of the DKS to be used.
Alstom has already been awarded the retrofitting
contract for the existing SFBW Talent 3 and Flirt 3 vehicle fleets.
The new Coradia Stream High Capacity trains will also be equipped
with the European Train Control System (ETCS) level 2 and 3, as
well as vehicle devices for Automatic Train Operation (ATO) at
Grade of Automation (GoA) 2. This will be the first time in Germany
that newly built vehicles will be equipped with a Train Integrity
Monitoring System (TIMS) and ETCS Level 3 and, in partial stages,
the Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS). This allows
tighter, denser and more energy-saving driving through digitally
predictive signalling and driving commands. It increases the
efficiency and reliability of regional transport, especially on
highly frequented lines. With a smoother rail service overall,
passengers can look forward to more frequent and safe connections.
In this way, Alstom combines sustainability, capacity and comfort
with the Coradia Stream High Capacity and thus contributes to
making regional transport greener, smarter, and more comfortable in
the long term.
Coradia Stream is a state-of-the-art, low-floor,
high-performance electric multiple unit (EMU), with a maximum speed
of up to 200 km/h that offers a modular design, allowing operators
to choose their best configuration and interior. Developed for the
European market, Coradia Stream can operate on all the main
European power supply systems. In total, over 730 trains based on
the Coradia Stream train family have been ordered in Italy,
Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, and Spain, ensuring
a well-proven product. The train family also offers emission-free
traction solutions such as battery or hydrogen for non-electrified
lines.
