Bombardier has been awarded a contract to supply 16 of its TWINDEXX Vario multiple units to Deutsche Bahn.
The order is valued at approximately €160 million and is part of a framework agreement between Bombardier and DB AG from December 2008.
The new trains will operate on the Kiel-Hamburg and Flensburg-Hamburg railway lines.
DB AG was awarded a contract to operate services on these regional lines in a Europe-wide tender process.
Each of the 16 new four-car TWINDEXX Vario trains comprises two double-deck power cars and two intermediate coaches.
The new trains will operate on the network LVS Schleswig-Holstein with speeds of up to 160 km/h.
The trains are due to be delivered in the second half of 2014.
