CAF has landed a new contract in France, valued at around €250 million, to supply 22 Régiolis electric regional trains to SNCF Voyageurs. The units will operate in Région Sud (Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur).
The order, which adds to the 17 trains already in service in the area, reinforces the French operator’s confidence in the Coradia Polyvalent platform. This train was originally developed by Alstom as part of its Coradia regional family but was acquired by CAF along with the Reichshoffen plant during the purchase of Bombardier Transportation.
The new rolling stock will replace existing units on the Marseille–Aubagne–Toulon–Hyères and Marseille–Toulon–Les Arcs Draguignan routes, enhancing both service quality and environmental performance. CAF will assemble the trains at its Reichshoffen facility in Alsace, while Alstom will supply various onboard systems.
