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.
Our FLIRT
The history of the FLIRT (Fast Light Innovative Regional Train) 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 combined hybrid solutions.
Characteristics
Multiple traction
Cross-type operation (KISS and FLIRT) possible for maximum flexibility in operational use
Modular platform
Thanks to its modular design, the FLIRT adapts perfectly to the specific needs of the individual route and means of operation, and also helps to reduce operating, energy and maintenance costs by offering a range of drives
Green drives
Overhead lines end, options do not. Also available with innovative drives that do not cause any local emissions
Top speed
Available as a regional or intercity train capable of speeds of up to 200 km/h
High driving dynamics
The possibility of flexibly arranging the bogies covers the need for tractive force and acceleration values
PowerPack
As part of the modular concept, the walk-in PowerPack can be equipped with different drive concepts
Successful worldwide
From the Arctic Circle to North Africa. Represented in over 20 countries with more than 2,500 units
Voltage systems can be combined
Cross-border transport and different voltage systems
Flexible body system
Two car body lengths and widths are available, as well as different structural gauge. The FLIRT has a high low-floor area and can be accessed barrier-free via the corridors.
Capacity à la carte
The modularity of the FLIRT types allows for flexible passenger capacities. Multiple units of two to eight parts can accommodate 100 to 500 passengers. Smaller formations can be expanded to accommodate more passengers, and up to four trains can operate in multiple unit traction.
Best in its 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 20 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 consistency and can be adapted as flexibly to varied framework conditions und customer requirements.
FLIRT 160
The FLIRT 160 is a single-decker regional train. The name is everything with the FLIRT, the Fast Light Innovative and Regional Train. With a maximum speed of 160 km/h, the FLIRT has been running successfully in a variety of climates, from Africa to the Arctic Circle, since 2004.
FLIRT 200
FLIRT 200 is the long-distance version of the FLIRT model series. With the launch of the faster version for intercity transport, Stadler has successfully broadened the FLIRT series.
FLIRT Akku
The FLIRT Akku is the solution for routes without end-to-end electrification. If there is a catenary, it operates in the standard way, using a raised pantograph to charge the batteries. Where the catenary ends, it continues the journey in battery mode, thus enabling carbon-emission-free travel.
FLIRT H2
Sustainable rail operations on routes without an overhead contact line: the FLIRT H2 model. Using hydrogen fuel cells as an energy source, it enables emission-free rail travel on non-electrified lines without any investment in retrofitting overhead contact lines and substations.
