The Régiolis base design is a dual-voltage EMU for 1·5 kV DC and 25 kV 50 Hz operation; two other options add 15 kV AC or a diesel hybrid using small roof-mounted engines. Régiolis will be available in three standard lengths - 56 m (three-car), 72 m (four-car) or 110 m (six-car). A framework contract for the supply of up to 1 000 low-floor trainsets to operate regional services was signed in 2009. Over 220 are delivered. |
