First Alstom Coradia Max train leaves Germany for testing

Alstom has dispatched its first Coradia Max high-capacity electric regional train to Germany for testing.  

This marks a significant milestone in fulfilling an order for 130 trains destined for a Baden-Württemberg-based customer, representing the largest order for double-deck trains at Alstom’s Chorzow plant. 

Apart from serving Baden-Württemberg, the facility produces components for similar trains for other German clients. 

Consisting of two double-deck cars and two single-deck centre cars, Coradia Max offers a total of 380 seats.  

The full-scale production of these trains is managed at Alstom’s Chorzów site, which is part of the company’s global competence centre for manufacturing and engineering. 

The first trainset departed from Chorzów at the beginning of November 2024 and will undergo testing in Germany before returning to Poland for further work, including interior fittings.
