lstom, global leader in smart and sustainable mobility, has been awarded a new contract worth more than EUR230 million to supply 25 additional Coradia Nordic regional trains to Norske tog.
This is the second order resulting from Alstom's landmark EUR1.8 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 look forward to receiving 25 additional trains from Alstom to improve capacity and services to the passengers' says Oystein 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. Read More…
