Alstom has won an order to supply 17 modern high-capacity Coradia Stream electric multiple units to DB Regio for the Main-Weser network in Germany. Consisting of 13 four-car and four five-car trainsets, the new trains will run on Germany's Main-Weser subnetwork operating between Frankfurt, Giessen, Marburg and Kassel and will support the planned timetable change on 15 December 2024. In addition to increasing capacity during peak hours, the new Coradia Stream trains will also enhance the travel experience with additional seating, more space, and free Wi-Fi.

DB Regio's new trains will also provide easy access to passengers. The 600-millimetre access height at all entrances will ensure swift, barrier-free access at nearly all stations, and when compared to other double-deck vehicles that rely on ramps for boarding, the middle cars offer convenient and ramp-free access for passengers with reduced mobility. In addition, the train offers 30 bicycles spaces.

Alstom will assemble the trains for Main-Weser network at its site in Salzgitter, Germany. The project office with project and contract management, product validation and commissioning, documentation, training and warranty will be executed in Germany.
