Alstom will provide Germany’s DB Regio AG (DB) with 29 Coradia Stream High-Capacity electric double-deck multiple units.
The trains will be used on the RE50 (Frankfurt-Fulda-Bebra) and RB51 (Frankfurt-Wächtersbach) lines from December 2025.
Müslüm Yakisan, president of Alstom region DACH, said: “Following the contract awarded by LNVG for the Bremen/Lower Saxony express interchange in 2021 and the contract with DB Regio for the Main-Weser subnetwork at the end of last year, we are extremely pleased that we have also convinced DB with our offer of Coradia Stream HC trains for the RE50 and RB51 lines.”
“This shows once again that our state-of-the-art high-capacity concept perfectly meets today’s needs for regional mobility in Germany.”
The Coradia Stream HC has been designed to offer a high level of passenger comfort. It features four-seat groups with large tables in first class and small wall-mounted tables in second class.
Power sockets at seats and free WLAN are also fitted as standard. The Coradia Stream High-Capacity is designed to provide barrier-free access to all doors at most stations. This is possible thanks to auniform boarding height of 600 millimetres.
The train also offers 30 bicycle parking spaces.
