The order volume is 266 million francs, as MGB announced on Tuesday. The order is part of the company’s fleet strategy. “This order represents a milestone in Stadler history and is the largest single order we have ever received for gear railways,” he continues.
This envisages that in the future regional passenger transport will be covered by more than just one unit. Following the acquisition of Komet’s multiple units from 2007 to 2014, the strategy will now be complemented by Orion multiple units, according to the statement.
Stadler won the contract to deliver multiple units of Orion in two phases as part of a public tender in 2018. The first phase, agreed in 2020, included twelve Orion multiple units for 148.5 million francs. The first trains of this delivery are already in use. All 12 trains in the first stage will be delivered by the end of this year.
According to the information obtained, the production of 25 trains will start at the beginning of 2025 within the scope of the second stage. Delivery of the first train is planned for the autumn of the same year. The train is planned to be operational in the first quarter of 2026. . After that, the plan calls for a new train to be delivered every six weeks.
The name Orion means “The most convenient regional train in local public transportation”. According to the announcement, multiple units will be available on the entire MGB route network from Zermatt to Disentis. They can operate in single, double or triple units and offer up to 438 seats, 72 of which are first class.
By 2030, MGB only wants to operate with more than one unit. According to the information obtained, the investment volume of all 37 multiple units belonging to the “Komet” and “Orion” brands is around 420 million francs. (SDA/uro)
