Stadler Rail

Stadler unveiled the FLIRT Akku, a battery-electric regional train capable of up to 150 km on non-electrified routes. It switches between overhead power and battery operation, supporting diesel retirements without full infrastructure upgrades, under Stadler’s low-emission strategy in Europe.

Stadler reported an order pipeline and multi-year contracts for regional trains and metro cars across Switzerland, Germany, and Eastern Europe. Renewals align with EU emission and accessibility standards, boosting backlog and focus on order trends versus Siemens Mobility and Alstom.
