The deliveries of the Norske Tog’s new ‘Class 77’ regional trains are slated to begin in 2025. These trains will operate between Ski and Stabekk in the greater Oslo region.

The chosen Coradia Nordic trains are fully suitable for Norwegian weather conditions. Furthermore, this order confirms Alstom’s leading position in Norway, as we are already equipping the entire Norwegian fleet with a new signalling solution.”

Other works such as project and contract management, product commissioning, testing, documentation, training, and warranty will be conducted within Norway.

Alstom has so far supplied around 300 Coradia Nordic trains to Nordic-based clients.
