2023 – Alstom, global leader in smart and
sustainable mobility, has been awarded a new contract worth more
than €230 million to supply 25 additional Coradia Nordic regional
trains to Norske tog. This is the second order resulting from
Alstom’s landmark €1.8 billion framework agreement with Norske tog,
signed at the end of 2021. The first order of 30 regional trains is
currently in production, with deliveries expected to begin end of
2025.
Norske tog’s new regional trains “Class 77” will
operate as a commuter and fast rail service between Ski and Stabekk
in the greater Oslo region. The expanding fleet of trains will
ensure improved transport services throughout the busy region.
“We are pleased with the opportunity to deliver
the next order in our framework agreement with Norske tog. The new
Coradia Nordic regional trains from Alstom will increase capacity
on the busiest lines in the Oslo area and strengthen the
emission-free public transport around the capital. Passengers will
get a faster, more comfortable and more reliable commute,” says
Carl Åge Bjørgan, Managing Director, Alstom Transport Norway.
"We look forward to receiving 25 additional
trains from Alstom to improve capacity and services to the
passengers" says Øystein Risan, CEO Norske tog AS
The Coradia Nordic trains for Norske tog have
been specially adapted to meet the needs of the Norwegian rail
network and are fully suitable for Norwegian weather conditions.
The new trains have a top speed of 200 km/h to ensure a swift and
comfortable commute in a spacious and relaxing environment. Each
trainset will consist of six single-deck coaches. The trains will
be equipped with Alstom’s digital ERTMS, a European standard
onboard signalling system which provides trains with continuous
safe movements and overspeed protection. This cab-signalling
architecture removes the need for the driver to read lateral
signals and provides onboard failsafe computer that pre-empt
drivers actions in case of unsafe conditions. The trains will thus
be capable of operating on both tracks equipped with the Norwegian
legacy signalling system as well as on the new ERTMS-fitted tracks
currently being rolled-out.
The Coradia Nordic is a state-of-the-art,
low-floor, high-performance electric multiple unit. The
standardised train is a single, versatile platform which meets
demands of regional and intercity transport. A modular design
allows operators to choose the configuration and interior that work
best for their market and commercial strategy. The platform offers
emission-free solutions such as battery or hydrogen for
non-electrified lines. In addition, Alstom’s sustainable approach
to services considers the entire lifecycle of the product, from
initial design to end of life, which will maximize the value of
Norske tog’s assets.
Alstom will assemble the trains for Norske tog
at its site in Salzgitter, Germany. Several French Alstom sites are
involved in the project, including Tarbes for traction systems,
Ornans for the motors, Villeurbanne for signalling systems and
Petit-Quevilly for electrical transformers.
Norske tog AS is owned by the Norwegian Ministry
of Transport and Communications. The company procures, owns, and
manages rolling stock for passenger train transport in Norway.
