According to initial plans, the trains will run on the lines from Augsburg to Weilheim, Schongau, Ingolstadt, Eichstätt and Langenneufnach.

Alstom Germany and Austria managing director Jörg Nikutta said: “This order by Transdev is another great milestone in the history of our proven and popular Coradia Lint. It is symbolic that the 1,000th Coradia Lint will be operated by the very same transport company that operated the first Coradia Lint back in November 2000.

“This order by Transdev is another great milestone in the history of our proven and popular Coradia Lint.”

“This fortunate coincidence illustrates the train’s past and current performance and how the product meets the expectations of our customers and their passengers.”

Alstom will build the Coradia Lint trains at its site in Salzgitter, Lower Saxony.
