Coradia Nordic trains are particularly well suited to strict
winter conditions, with the main equipment (traction, static
converters, air conditioning, etc.) placed on the roof. Able to
accommodate 374 passengers, these trains will offer enhanced
accessibility, made possible by lower floors and the absence of
steps.
Alstoms regional trains are part of the companys
environmental protection strategy: they are 98% recyclable and
their distributed power optimizes the braking and acceleration
of each carriage.
This order is a token of the exceptional confidence
rewarded to Alstom and the quality of its products. Coradia
Nordic trains are one of the most appreciated trains running in
Sweden according to all travel surveys, declared Lars
Kleppe, Director of Alstom for Nordic Countries and Baltic
States. Alstom has already supplied 71 trains to SL and sold a
total of 162 Coradia Nordic trains to Swedish public and
regional transports authorities.
