Stadler has announced the delivery of the last of a total of 60 RABe 512 double-deck InterRegio trains to Swiss Federal Railways (SBB).
Each of the 60 vehicles have been delivered on schedule, and have been operating since mid-2023 across the Zurich region, the Swiss Midlands and Western Switzerland.
Thus far, the fleet has accumulated more than 23 million kilometres in passenger service – the equivalent to 30 trips to the moon – and each unit includes a propane-based air conditioning system in a bid to provide a more environmentally solution to conventional trains.
The final vehicle was handed over on 2 October 2026, and concludes the production phase of the SBB InterRegio double-deck trains.
Lucius Gerig, Head of Division Switzerland at Stadler, said:Delivering 60 vehicles on time and in outstanding quality demonstrates what can be achieved when customer and manufacturer work closely together with a shared focus on successfully bringing the trains into service.
I would like to thank SBB for their trust and the project teams for their big commitment.
