Stadler has received its first order for bi-modal FLIRT trainsets.
The Swiss manufacturer will supply Italy’s Valle d’Aosta Region in the north west of the country with five BMU sets in an order worth €43 million.
The new three-car trains will operate interregional services between Aosta and Torino under both 3 kVDC catenary and diesel power.
Stadler will deliver the new trains in 2018.
The order includes a five-year maintenance contract and an option for five additional train sets.
Isn’t Stadler Swiss?
