In August 2010 Estonian operator Elektriraudtee placed an order with Stadler for 12 three-car and six four-car EMUs and six two-car, eight three-car and six four-car DMUs - 38 trains in all. This contract resulted in the creation of the very first FLIRT DMU, equipped with a power module between the cars with passenger accommodation.
