Alstom and STA unveiled the first Coradia Stream

On 4 May 2025, Alstom presented, together with STA - Strutture Trasporto Alto Adige SpA - the first of 21 Coradia Stream EMUs that will make up the new regional fleet connecting South Tyrol (Italy) and Tyrol (Austria). The presentation took place at Malles Venosta station (BZ), as part of the celebrations for the 20th anniversary of the Val Venosta railway, marking a significant milestone in enhancing cross-border mobility with Austria on key routes such as Malles - Lienz and Innsbruck - Bolzano.

The event was held in the presence of the President of the Autonomous Province of Bozen/Bolzano, Arno Kompatscher, the Provincial Councillor for Mobility, Daniel Alfreider, the Councillor for Mobility of the State of Tyrol, Renè Zumtobel, the President of the District Community, Roselinde Gunsch Koch, the General Director of STA, Joachim Dejaco and the Managing Director Alstom in Italy, Michele Viale.

Built at Alstom’s Savigliano site, the 160 km/h trains measure 127.9 m in length, and are also equipped with on-board ETCS. Daniel Alfreider, provincial councillor for Mobility Autonomous Province of Bolzano-South Tyrol, said: "Today, for the first time, a Coradia Stream can be seen on South Tyrolean soil. Starting in mid-2026, these trains will not only be in use in the Vinschgau Valley, but throughout the province. The train offers 381 seats and thus carries up to 200 % more passengers per trip than previous trains. There is also an expanded bicycle compartment."

The interiors have been designed with the community in mind, featuring large spaces for bicycle transport and fully accessible areas for passengers with reduced mobility. Two onboard toilets, one of which is PRM-compliant, guarantee autonomy and comfort throughout the journey. The new trains will now start the validation and certification testing.
