Trenitalia has awarded Alstom a EUR 900 million frame contract for the delivery of 150 new medium-capacity regional trains. The first order concerns 47 trains totalling EUR 240 million and includes an option for maintenance services. Alstom will deliver the first trains in early 2019.
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.
The three Alstom sites in Italy, Savigliano, Sesto San Giovanni and Bologna, will be involved in the design and manufacturing of the new regional trains for Trenitalia.
The contract will also create help developing Alstom’s Italian network of suppliers.
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%
