Alstom's first Coradia Liners run on the Paris-Troyes-Belfort Intercity line
Coradia Liner V160 comes in two lengths (72 and 110 metres) and two types of engines (electric or bimodal diesel/electric). These trains can accommodate up to 269 passengers, and run at 160 km/h. The design of this new main line train allows the operator to offer a large number of on-board services to passengers (meals brought to your seat...). Innovative technical solutions allow Coradia Liner to reduce travel times: wide doors and platforms optimise passenger circulation. Acceleration and braking capacities have been improved thanks to distributed power throughout the entire train. Lighter, the train’s energy consumption will be much lower than the previous generation of main line trains. The train’s architecture has been specifically designed for ease of maintenance. Coradia Liner complies with current European standards and can be used on all tracks of the conventional network.
Six of the twelve sites of Alstom in France are involved: Reichshoffen for the design and assembly, Ornans for the motors, Le Creusot for the bogies, Tarbes for the traction chains, Villeurbanne for the on-board electronics and Saint-Ouen for the design.
