Featuring European (ERTMS) signalling systems, Coradia Stream ICNG trains are installed with a modern traction system that facilitates regenerative braking.

Alstom Benelux managing director Bernard Belvaux said: “The Coradia Stream are successful because they offer highly reliable, energy efficient, safe and comfortable transport for passengers. They also have an impressive availability rate of over 97% and are easy to maintain.

“We are proud that NS chose Alstom to help it transform rail transport across the Netherlands, and have no doubt that our trains will make a significant difference for Dutch travelers.”

Alstom, Electra, and Dan Transportation have received a contract from the Metropolitan Mass Transit System (NTA) in Israel for a light rail project.
