By GlobalDataThe Coradia Nordic trains belong to Alstom’s Coradia range of modular trains. They were built at the company’s facility in Salzgitter, Germany.
The trains were designed focusing on modularity, safety and performance. They are said to be 98% recyclable.
To date, Alstom has delivered more than 2,800 Coradia trains, among which 2,300 units are currently in service.
Alstom Nordics managing director Rob Whyte said: “With this delivery, Alstom has cemented its position as the leading supplier of regional trains in Sweden.
