Including this option, nine Regions have ordered a total of 159 Regio 2N EMUs. The delivery of the additional trains will take place from June 2016 until April 2017.
The Coradia Liner, a long-haul train, is classed between a regional train and a high-speed train.
The piece of metal linking two train lines “broke away” when the accident took place, SNCF Chairman Guillaume Pepy said at a press conference.
Commercial operation is planned for late 2011. Among other routes, they will operate on the new Rhin-Rhône high-speed line scheduled to open in December 2011. The entire fleet will be delivered by 2014.
The Regio2N contract signed with SNCF in February, foresees the production of a total maximum of 860 trains.
Trainset is a part of Coradia Duplex range. SNCF and Alstom have signed an investment program agreement to renew the TER fleet with an order of 233 trainsets at a cost of more than $2.7 billion.
Contract includes a firm part worth $1 billion for the delivery of 100 Coradia Polyvalent trainsets to eight French regions. The total volume may eventually reach 1,000 train sets up to 2021, for an amount of approximately $10 billion.
