This is the first vehicle in the series for DB Regio AG. A total of 28 vehicles of the type were ordered. From December 2014, the vehicles will form the backbone of the new, state-wide RE network in Rhineland-Palatinate. For the first time, the new multiple units are not designed in the typical "DB Red" of Deutsche Bahn, but painted in the basic color white and provided with gray and red elements on the motor vehicle heads. Furthermore, the interior is designed differently from the previous DB design. A special technical feature is the ability to couple the FLIRT trains with the double-decker KISS trains of the CFL (Luxembourg State Railways): For the first time, multiple units of different types from two European state railways will be coupled together. "We are proud that two state railways, coupled with two different products from our company, will in future be used on the Trier-Koblenz routes," says Michael Daum, Managing Director of Stadler Pankow GmbH. “The 3rd generation FLIRT is a state-of-the-art rail vehicle and offers a lot of comfort. For the first time we find an intermediate car without a door in the version for the DB Regio, which gives passengers a comfortable rest area. The approval for the Flirt³ double traction is already available. " The five-part vehicles are equipped with large tables in the face-to-face seating areas. Passenger areas and driver's compartment are air-conditioned. One of the two handicapped-accessible toilets is also suitable for electric wheelchairs, and boarding the train is barrier-free. Each vehicle has 249 seats in second and 21 seats in first class. The FLIRT has a high drive power and reaches a maximum speed of 160 km / h. A total of 28 trains were ordered from Stadler Pankow. “We decided on the vehicles from the manufacturer Stadler because they represent both an optimal solution for the comfort requirements of our customers and can also meet the special operational and technical framework conditions of the RE network,” says Kay Euler, Board Member for Rail Production DB Regio AG. “The latest generation of Flirt vehicles will be the centerpiece of the 2015 Rhineland-Palatinate cycle. With new regional express lines, such as the RE 1 from Koblenz via Trier, Saarbrücken, Kaiserslautern to Mannheim, a new quality is created in fast regional traffic. Through the integration in the Koblenz, Trier and Kaisers-Lautern junctions, the advantages of the new RE have an impact far across the area, because the travel times of the regional trains can be optimally linked to the timetables of the RE, ”says Michael Heilmann, Managing Director of the Rhineland Local Rail Transport Association -Pfalz Süd. back archive 2015 January February March April May June July August September October November December 2014 January February March April May June July August September October November December 2013 January February March April May June July August September October November December 2012 January February March April May June July August September October November December 2011 January February March April May June July August September October November December 2010 January February March April May June July August September October November December 2009 January February March April May June July August September October November December 2008 January February March April May June July August September October November December 2007 January February March April May June July August September October November December 2006 January February March April May June July August September October November December 2005 January February March April May June July August September October November December 2004 January February March April May June July August September October November December 2003 January February March April May June July August September October November December 2002 January February March April May June July August September October November December Press offices (only for journalists - other contact points in the "Contact" menu): Schweiz + International Marina Winder Telefon: +41 (0) 71 626 31 57 Mobile: +41 (0) 78 843 57 20 pressestelle@stadlerrail.com Deutschland Katrin Block Telefon: +49 30 9191-1501 Mobile: +49 160 90641935 Katrin.Block@stadlerrail.de Home News Stadler Pankow präsentiert den 1.
