On 15 January 2026, CAF has been awarded a contract by SNCF Voyageurs to supply an additional ten Régiolis EDMUs, valued at approximately 80 million EUR, to be operated in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region in southwestern France.
This latest order for regional trains reaffirms SNCF Voyageurs, which is responsible for operating the region’s rail services. As with previous agreements, the contract provides that CAF will be responsible for the design and assembly of the trains at its Reichshoffen plant, while Alstom will manufacture various onboard systems and equipment.
These new trains for Nouvelle-Aquitaine will complement the existing fleet of 54 Régiolises currently operating on the region’s rail network. The units in question are four-car, bimode (electric and diesel) trains with a capacity of 208 passengers.
This latest extension of the Régiolis fleet is in addition to those already secured by CAF in recent years for various French regions. These orders stem from the 2021 agreement with Alstom, under which CAF acquired the Reichshoffen plant in Alsace, as well as responsibility for developing the extensions of this regional train platform for SNCF. With these 10 new units, the number of units commissioned to CAF now amounts to almost 50.
