New contract for Stadler Pankow GmbH a KISS for Luxembourg

Stadler Pankow receives an order for the delivery of eight KISS double-decker
multiple-unit trains from the Socit nationale des chemins de fer
luxembourgeois (CFL).


The Socit nationale des chemins de fer luxembourgeois is ordering 8 three-carriage
double-decker multiple-unit trains for operation in Luxembourg and across the border to
Germany, with an option on up to a further 31 units, which will be in operation from 2013.
The order is worth around EUR 60 million.

With this order, we once again receive confirmation that continuous development of existing
vehicle concepts is the right way to go, says Michael Daum, Director of Stadler Pankow
GmbH. We are delighted that as well as in Switzerland, Austria and Germany, passengers
in Luxembourg will now also be able to travel in our modern and comfortable trains.

The double-decker multiple-unit train KISS where KISS stands for komfortabler innovativer
spurtstarker S-Bahn-Zug (comfortable innovative speedy suburban train) is based on the
FLIRT vehicle concept, which since its introduction in 2004 is one of the most-sold rail
vehicles in Stadler Rail Group. The high degree of flexibility permits adaptation to the
demanding requirements of suburban train operation and mainline services up to a maximum
speed of 200 km/h or, as in this case, for comfortable regional services as well.

The electric double-decker multiple-unit trains for CFL are equipped with two different voltage
systems, to permit operation in Luxembourg (25 kV, 50 Hz) and in Germany (15 kV, 16,7
Hz). The 80-metre-long vehicles have a capacity of 300 seats. The interior features generous
legroom for all passengers and a very comfortable first-class zone; this is enhanced by
sufficient space for bicycles, room for three wheelchairs and a conductors compartment. The
trains also feature the European Train Control System (ETCS) for operation in Luxembourg.
The double-decker multiple-unit trains reach a maximum speed of 160 km/h.

construction, has locations in Switzerland (Altenrhein, Bussnang and Winterthur), in
