Stadler's Innovative Battery Trains Set to Revolutionize Zealand's Rail Transport

Lokaltog A/S is advancing towards a greener future by upgrading its train fleet in Zealand with environmentally friendly technology. The regional operator has chosen Stadler's FLIRT battery-operated trains, renowned for their innovative battery-electric multiple unit designs. This move marks a significant progression towards achieving sustainable, zero-emission public transport in Denmark. The initial order includes 14 FLIRT Akku trains with an option to acquire ten more, aiming for delivery by 2028.

Each train is equipped with full air conditioning, a universal toilet compliant with TSI PRM standards, Wi-Fi connectivity, and an advanced passenger information system.
