Alstom to supply 16 additional Coradia Polyvalent
trains
to the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region
10 May 2019 -
Alstom will supply 16 additional Coradia Polyvalent trains to the
Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region for a sum of approximately 170
million euros. The region has already ordered 24 trains.
The Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region
has ordered 16 six-car electric Coradia Polyvalent trains. It is
the first order of this combination of the Coradia Polyvalent
modular platform. These trains have a total capacity of 355 seats
and offer passengers an "Intercité" style interior design with an
excellent level of comfort thanks to large windows, indirect
interior lighting, reclining seats with arm rests, an electric
socket and a coat hook. The new Coradia Polyvalent trains for the
Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region will also be the first to comply
with the new 2014 PRM TSI[1] standard
providing, for example, a more spacious toilet area with access for
persons with reduced mobility.
These 16 trains can be added to the 24 four-car electric trains
already ordered by the region, 18 of which have already been
delivered.
"Alstom is proud
to support the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region which has been a key
partner since the beginning of the Régiolis contract. This latest
order expands our range of Coradia Polyvalent regional and
Intercité trains. The new high-capacity trains provide excellent
comfort, comply with the latest required standards and
specifications for persons with reduced mobility, and will use all
the latest information and connectivity technology. The new order
will also boost activity at Alstom plants in
Bourgogne-Franche-Comté," said Jean-Baptiste Eyméoud, President
of Alstom in France.
Coradia Polyvalent belongs to
Alstom's Coradia range of trains. With its modular architecture, it
can be adapted to the requirements of each public transport
authority as well as to different types of use: suburban, regional
and intercity. It comes in three lengths (56, 72 or 110 metres) and
offers optimal comfort for passengers, whatever the length of the
journey. The train is both ecological and economical due to its low
energy consumption, its compliance with the latest emissions
standards in thermal mode and its low maintenance costs.
Pre-equipped to receive ERTMS[2] technology,
Coradia Polyvalent is the first French regional train to comply
with all European standards.
To date, 328 Coradia Polyvalent
trains have been ordered as part of the contract awarded to Alstom
by SNCF in October 2009, including 267 Coradia Polyvalent for
Régiolis by 9 French regions and 61 Coradia Liner by the French
state, transport authority for the country's Intercité trains.
Régiolis has already covered more than 50 million kilometres in
commercial service.
The Coradia Polyvalent train also meets the needs of the export
market: 17 trains have been ordered by SNTF (Algeria) and 15 trains
by APIX (Senegal).
The development and manufacture of
Coradia Polyvalent trains secures more than 4,000 jobs in France
for Alstom and its suppliers. Six out of the 12 Alstom plants in
France are involved in the project: Reichshoffen for the design and
assembly, Ornans for the motors, Le Creusot for the bogies, Tarbes
for the traction chains, Villeurbanne for the onboard IT systems
and Saint-Ouen for the design.
