Note: Rebuilt from RABe 522 012-4. Stadler FLIRT (Fast Light Innovative Regional Train) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) produced by Stadler Rail AG. The articulated trainset comes in units of two to six cars with two to six motorized axles. The maximum speed is 200 km/h. Standard floor height is 57 cm, but 78 cm high floors are also available for platform heights of 76 cm.
The FLIRT train was originally developed for the SFR (Swiss Federal Railway) and was first delivered in 2004. The trains quickly became a success and were ordered by operators in Algeria, Estonia, Germany, Finland, Hungary, Italy and Norway, Poland and Switzerland.
