Talgo wins major train contract from Flix

Talgo wins major train contract from FlixThe Germany-based transport company Flix has awarded Talgo a contract worth about 2.4 billion euros for the supply of up to 65 European high-speed trains based upon the Talgo 230 product platform. The initial firm order is for 30 units worth nearly 1.06 billion euros; the contract also includes the maintenance of all units during a 15-year period. Talgo was selected after an open competitive process that included other top-tier global train constructors.

Under the contract, the Talgo 230 push-pull trains will be supplied without locomotives (to be constructed by a third party), with each unit comprising an end-coach with driving cabin, a variable number of intermediate high-capacity passenger seating coaches, including one for PRMs (passengers with reduced mobility), and an end-coach to be used as the interface with the locomotive. The trains, which are designed to be operated across Europe, will initially be prepared for Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Sweden, with full interoperability allowing seamless cross-border operations.

Carlos Palacio, Talgo’s president, said: “Talgo is keen to enter a partnership with a transport giant like Flix. Talgo 230 is the best solution to improve passenger mobility across Europe in the intercity rail passenger market. We are delighted that our company is contributing with this new product iteration to the common goal of shifting traffic from the road and air modes and to a fair and rapid energy transition.”

Talgo, which undertakes the design, manufacture and maintenance of high-speed and intercity trains, has an industrial presence in Spain, Germany, Denmark, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and the USA. The company has a team of more than 3,500 people in 11 countries.
