On 12 August 2025, Lokaltog has placed an order for ten more battery-powered FLIRT AKKU trains from Stadler, which were included as an option in the contract signed in October 2024.The new vehicles will join Lokaltog's modern fleet in 2029 and will reinforce the operator's commitment to providing emission-free rail services in Eastern Denmark. They are to replace the IC2 vehicles, which have been in operations in Denmark since 1997.
The FLIRT AKKU trains can operate up to 100 km purely on battery power and recharge automatically under overhead lines or through regenerative braking. In Europe, Stadler currently holds a 50 % market share in the BEMU segment.
