Alstom and Trenitalia (Gruppo FS Italiane) have unveiled their new regional train during the opening of EXPO Ferroviaria 2025.
The new trains are set to join Trenitalia’s fleet operating across Tuscany, Lazio and Umbria.
Capable of reaching speeds of up to 200 km/h; the trains, which are part of Alstom’s Coradia Stream line, feature a low-floor design, and can carry up to 1,076 passengers (618 seated) across eight carriages.
The opening ceremony at EXPO Ferroviaria was attended by a number of representatives from the Lombardy Region, including Councillors Franco Lucente (Transport and Sustainable Mobility), Claudia Maria Terzi (Infrastructure and Public Works), Gianpiero Strisciuglio, CEO and General Manager Trenitalia; and Michele Viale, Manging Director Alstom in Italy.
Gianpiero Strisciuglio, CEO and General Manager of Trenitalia, said:
The new 200 km/h regional train represents a crucial step in the transformation and renewal of the fleet that Trenitalia and the FS Group are carrying out.
This process, which goes hand in hand with the renewal of the high-speed and Intercity fleet, is the result of a total investment of €7 billion, which will enable 80% of the regional fleet to be renewed by 2027. Trenitalia is committed to providing state-of-the-art trains that are not only modern and comfortable, but above all sustainable, capable of connecting territories and communities, promoting more efficient, accessible, and environmentally friendly mobility.
Manufactured at Alstom’s sites in Savigliano (CN), Sesto San Giovanni (MI), and Bologna, the trains are equipped with automatic boarding ramps, 16 dedicated spaces for bicycles (including e-bikes) and advanced climate control. The trains have also been produced using 96% recyclable material.
Each unit integrates ERTMS signalling systems, as well as a full Ethernet TCMS with predictive diagnostics.
Michele Viale, Managing Director Alstom Italy, said:
We are proud to present this new Coradia Stream together with Trenitalia, a train entirely designed and built in Italy that showcases the excellence of our industrial expertise.
With this next-generation train, we continue our tangible contribution to modernizing regional mobility, offering passengers a faster, more comfortable, and sustainable travel experience. This project reflects our commitment to strengthening the Italian rail supply chain and supporting the development of the regions where we operate.
The launch of the new train forms part of a plan to modernise Italy’s regional fleet, with Trenitalia already operating 931 next-generation trains and planning to introduce 1,061 trains by 2027.
