This contract includes the purchase of 14 trains with an option for another ten vehicles. This move is a step towards sustainable and decarbonised mobility in the country, with the new trains scheduled for delivery in 2028.
Danish railway company Lokaltog has selected Stadler’s FLIRT battery-powered trains to decarbonise its fleet in Zealand, Denmark.
This contract includes the purchase of 14 trains with an option for another ten vehicles. This move is a step towards sustainable and decarbonised mobility in the country, with the new trains scheduled for delivery in 2028.
The FLIRT Akku trains, designed to provide an environmentally friendly travel experience, will operate on the Tølløsebanen and Østbanen lines, with the potential to extend services to Lollandsbanen and Odsherredsbanen.
This decision comes after a public tender announced in November 2023.
The company’s advanced trains can operate both with and without overhead contact lines and recharge during operation and when braking.
Stadler marketing and sales executive vice president Dr Ansgar Brockmeyer said: “We at Stadler are driven to lead in sustainable mobility, and for years we have been consistently and determinedly developing alternative drive solutions. Today, our FLIRT Akku has won another competition for battery trains.
