Alstom awarded a frame contract to supply 150
regional trains in Italy
3 August 2016
- Alstom will provide Trenitalia, the Italian national operator,
with 150 new medium-capacity regional trains within a frame
contract worth about €900 million. This includes an option for
maintenance services. The first order concerns 47 trains totalling
€240 million. It is expected that Alstom will begin delivering the
first trains in early 2019.
"This award
confirms the excellent work done by our company in the field of
regional transport over the last 15 years. Alstom has had an
excellent return on experience with its Coradia Meridian, a
successful train that fully respected delivery times, product
quality and reliability. This new order offers us the opportunity
to reinforce our customer proximity and continue working with the
Italian Regions and Trenitalia to improve local transport in the
country", declared Andreas Knitter, Senior Vice-President for
Europe at Alstom.
The new medium capacity regional
trains for Trenitalia are single-deckers featuring two train
lengths and up to 321 seats. This solution is adapted to different
configurations and capacity needs for regional and suburban
transport. The train offers a wide range of easily combined
interiors, liveries and accessories. Every Region can easily
personalise its trains using an interactive configurator.
To date, more than 100 Coradia
Meridian are already operational in Piedmont, Lombardy, Tuscany,
Umbria, Lazio, Marche, Abruzzo, and will soon enter in service in
Trentino and Sicily. While preserving the best characteristics of
its forerunners, this evolution of Coradia trains for Trenitalia
will be even more innovative as a result of the many solutions
designed to satisfy the needs of the different Italian Regions.
This train is the fruit of Alstom's careful project design and
experience in fleet management.
Passengers will appreciate the
comfort, space, brightness and exceptional services offered by
these trains, all of which create a completely new travelling
experience, such as the Wi-Fi network, the audio/video information
and entertainment service, and the system of live digital video
surveillance cameras for passenger safety.
The train will be even more
environmentally friendly than the previous generation of regional
trains with a significant decrease in energy consumption per
passenger, despite the greater installed power required for the air
conditioning system. All of the consumable materials are recyclable
up to 95%.
The three Alstom sites in Italy
will be involved in the design and manufacturing of the new
regional trains for Trenitalia: Savigliano (1,000 employees), Sesto
San Giovanni (340 employees), and Bologna (600 employees). The
contract will also create help developing Alstom's Italian network
of suppliers.
