Alstom to supply new Coradia Stream trains to
DB Regio
- High-capacity Cordia Stream to boost passenger capacity on
Germany’s busy Main-Weser Express line
- New vehicles will feature 15 percent more space, greater
comfort, easier access and free Wi-Fi
7 January 2022 – Alstom has won an
order to supply 17 modern high-capacity Coradia Stream electric
multiple units to DB Regio for the Main-Weser network in Germany1.
Consisting of 13 four-car and four five-car trainsets, the new
trains will run on Germany’s Main-Weser subnetwork operating
between Frankfurt, Giessen, Marburg and Kassel and will support the
planned timetable change on 15 December 2024. In addition to
increasing capacity during peak hours, the new Coradia Stream
trains will also enhance the travel experience with additional
seating, more space, and free Wi-Fi.
“We are very pleased that DB Regio has chosen
our modern Coradia Stream high-capacity train for their RE 30 line
between Frankfurt and Kassel to the East. These comfortable trains
will provide passengers on the Main-Weser Express with a premium
travel experience and additional space," says Müslüm
Yakisan, President of Alstom’s DACH region. “DB Regio’s
decision is further evidence that Alstom has precisely the right
product to meet our customers’ need to increase capacity.”
“We are very proud and happy that RMV has chosen
DB Regio in the "Main-Weser" award procedure. With the new, modern
double-decker vehicles, we are sending a strong signal - for
climate protection and strengthening of the railways," says
Maik Dreser, Chairman of the DB Regio Mitte
Regional Directorate.
The high-capacity version of the Coradia Stream
offers passengers on the highly frequented Main-Weser Express line
up to 15 percent more space than the vehicles currently in use. The
four-car version consists of two double-deck control cars and two
single-deck middle cars, for a total of 420 seats. The five-car
version has another double-deck middle car and a total of 540
seats. When operated in a double traction combination of four and
five-car vehicles, capacity can be increased to up to 960 seats,
more than any regional train previously used on this line.
The modular design of the Coradia Stream high
capacity also empowers customers with the ability to individually
configure their trains with variable seating, expandable bicycle
compartments or generous multi-purpose areas. Four-seater groups
with large wall-mounted tables in the first-class section, compact
wall-mounted tables in the second class section in addition to free
Wi-Fi and power sockets at every seat, ensures that passengers
remain comfortable and fully-connected during their trip regardless
what section they choose.
DB Regio’s new trains will also provide easy
access to passengers. The 600-millimetre access height at all
entrances will ensure swift, barrier-free access at nearly all
stations, and when compared to other double-deck vehicles that rely
on ramps for boarding, the middle cars offer convenient and
ramp-free access for passengers with reduced mobility. In addition,
the train offers 30 bicycles spaces.
Alstom will assemble the trains for Main-Weser
network at its site in Salzgitter, Germany. The project office with
project and contract management, product validation and
commissioning, documentation, training and warranty will be
executed in Germany.
