Lokaltog ordered FLIRT AKKUs

Lokaltog A/S is decarbonising its fleet in the Zealand region. The company has opted for the FLIRT battery-powered trains from Stadler. The new BEMUs will be delivered in 2028.

The contract signed on On 8 October 2024 in Taastrup  covers the purchase of 14 two-car FLIRT AKKU trains with an option for 10 more. They are to be operated in Region Zealand on the Tølløsebanen and Østbanen lines, with the potential to extend services to Lollandsbanen and Odsherredsbanen. The award to Stadler is following a public tender announced in November 2023.

Lars Wrist-Elkjær, Managing Director of Lokaltog, says: „We at Lokaltog are delighted to have found a supplier for our future battery trains. They are to replace our IC2 vehicles, which have served us well since 1997. These are the trains of the future that we are buying now, and they will hopefully be on our tracks and bringing comfort to our customers for many years.“
