The new trains will be used in the Zealand region, where they will replace old diesel IC2 trains produced by ADtranz in 1997.

The contract is expected to be signed in October, pending approval from the regional government.

These trains will utilize advanced battery technologies, which will reduce environmental impact and enhance transportation efficiency.

The introduction of the new trains will improve the quality and reliability of transportation services in the region.

Replacing old diesel trains with modern electric and hybrid models will be a significant step toward modernizing Zealand’s transportation infrastructure.

Given the age and condition of the old trains, transitioning to new technologies will not only reduce operating costs but also enhance passenger comfort.

The contract with Lokaltog highlights the growing trend towards eco-friendly transportation in Europe.

The new generation of trains is expected to improve overall service quality and meet passengers’ needs for more efficient and sustainable travel.
