Alstom is supplying NS with 79 Coradia Stream trains, with the first expected to begin operating on the Dutch network before the end of the year.

The trains are also equipped with a modern traction system that allows regenerative braking, which can save as much as 35 percent of a train’s energy consumption, in addition to reducing wheel wear and tear.

Furthermore, at the end of its operational life, 95 percent of the vehicle’s components are recyclable.
