Stadler Rail AG, founded in 1942 and headquartered in Bussnang, Switzerland, is a prominent manufacturer of rail vehicles. The company offers a diverse portfolio, including high-speed trains, intercity trains, regional and commuter trains, trams, light rail vehicles, and locomotives. Stadler emphasizes customized solutions, tailoring its products to meet specific customer requirements. The company's dedication to innovation is showcased through its development of hydrogen-powered trains, contributing to sustainable mobility. With numerous production and service locations worldwide, Stadler ensures efficient support and maintenance services for its clients.
This innovative train operates on both hydrogen and battery power, providing a sustainable solution to the pressing challenges faced by Central European public transport networks without electrification.
Stadler will supply Gotha with four TRAMLINK trams, enhancing comfort, accessibility, and sustainability, with an option for six more and full maintenance included.
Based on a single platform, these three-section CITYLINK vehicles are 37.2m long, 2.65m wide, featuring standardized air conditioning and spacious multi-purpose areas.
The vehicles will be used from 2029 on the route from Montreux to the summit of Rochers-de-Naye at over 2000 meters above sea level and will replace the 40-year-old fleet.
Stadler’s 323-seat FLIRT trains, featuring Nordic design and 200 km/h speeds, will boost Arlanda Express capacity by 50% from 2029, backed by a 15-year service agreement.
Stadler will double its presence in Slovakia with new electric double-decker KISS units after ZSSK signed a contract worth up to €100 million for four additional regional trains.
Built in Bussnang, Thurgau, trains will be introduced into passenger service from mid-2026, and operate on the historic Mont Blanc Express route between Martigny (CH) and St-Gervais (FR).
The new battery-electric vehicles can bridge sections of up to 80 kilometres without overhead lines by using the energy stored during overhead line operation.
