Lightweight and flexible: FLIRT

An intelligent, innovative design incorporating tried and tested technology. A modular concept that inspires customers worldwide, with over 2'500 units sold.

Hero product image

The history of the FLIRT began in 2002. The concept is still constantly being developed and enhanced with additional useful options to this day. It stands out for its modularity and flexibility, making it ideal for meeting a wide range of customer requirements. Today, in addition to pure electric traction, we also offer drive modules for operation with hydrogen, battery or diesel, or combined hybrid solutions.

The best in his class

The FLIRT model is a best-seller. Since the first delivery, over 2,500 FLIRT trains have been developed, built and put into service. FLIRT trains are now successfully operating in 21 countries. FLIRT trains travel over a million kilometres every day on standard and broad-gauge tracks and in very different climate zones – from Africa to the Arctic Circle. Only a few other trains can boast such continuity and can adapt as flexibly to varied framework conditions.
