Flixtrain brings 65 new high -speed trains to Germany!
Flix, the provider of long -distance trains under the Flixtrain brand, plans to expand its offer on the rail. According to the information from rbb24 , the company has placed an order of up to 65 new high-speed trains from the Spanish manufacturer Talgo. In addition, Siemens will deliver the locomotives. The order comprises 30 trains that are firmly ordered and 35 others that can be accessed optionally.
The total costs for this package, which also includes maintenance services, amount to up to 2.4 billion euros. The exact delivery dates of the new trains are not yet known. These vehicles should reach speeds of up to 230 km/h and enable barrier -free start, which should significantly increase the attractiveness of the offer.
expansion of the flixtrain offer
Flix is currently active with 13 trains in German long -distance transport that are operated by partner companies. With the new vehicles, the fleet is significantly enlarged. In Germany, Flixtrain currently serves 50 cities with its own trains and can achieve a total of 650 destinations through cooperation. The company's long -term strategy aims to open up the market potential in Germany and Europe, including cross -border connections.
This initiative received support from Federal Transport Minister Patrick Schnieder (CDU), who described Flix's plans as important steps to strengthen rail transport in Germany. The intention of expanding the offer shows that Flix relies on increased competition in long -distance transport and thus wants to promote awareness of environmentally friendly transportation.
The order of Flix is viewed as a strategic step in order to remain relevant in an acceleratingly competitive market. As DetailsOrt Berlin, Deutschland Quellen
