Stadler consolidates its position as the European leader in the Train-Tram segment
In an increasingly urbanized world, Stadler’s metro, light rail vehicles and trams offer great comfort to passengers and cost-effective customized solutions to operators. Our LRVs set trends in terms of performance, universal accessibility, reliability, safety, comfort and cutting-edge technology. As an example, the CITYLINK, a modular, barrier-free, light rail vehicle family specially designed to connect the city center with its metropolitan area without transhipments, providing a safe, quiet and highly comfortable journey.
The CITYLINK covers from tramway applications to full train regional operations at 100km/h. Its biggest success is the recent VDV-Tram-Train contract involving the supply of up to 504 vehicles to a consortium of six operators in Germany and Austria. In 2022, an order for 19 CITYLINK train-trams, plus 27 optional ones, has also been signed for the Chemnitz region and Hungary’s first train-tram has been commissioned in Szeged. Another important milestone was the arrival in the UK of the first hybrid CITYLINK (E+Bat) for testing.
