Alstom has secured a contract worth approximately €50m for the supply of ten Coradia Lint regional trains to German company HzL Hohenzollerische Landesbahn.

The diesel multiple units are set to be developed at Alstom’s Salzgitter plant and will operate on the RE Ulm-Aalen, RB Ulm-Langenau and RB Ulm-Munderkingen lines.

Alstom sales director in Germany and Austria Jochen Slabon said: “With this contract Alstom’s Coradia Lint will for the first time serve in the Baden-Württemberg region.

“Alstom’s well-proven regional trains will be a real enrichment for the region and bring passenger comfort to a new level.”

The company is scheduled to deliver the trains by May 2019.

HzL chief technology officer Tobias Harms said: “The Lint from Alstom is an absolutely new feature in our train fleet. We are very excited about the new trains and are happy to be able to offer our future passengers a high comfort.”
