Stadler Rail will deliver ten electric multiple units for Belarus Railway

Swiss manufacturer Stadler Rail won a 60 million euro contract to deliver ten electric multiple units for Belarus Railway. Delivery of four-carriage trains will start in December this year and continue until the middle 2012. The trains are part of FLIRT (Fast Light Innovative Regional Train) Stadler's model family.

The trains will be built in two versions: six FLIRTs will serve the traditional local train network in the region of the Belarusian capital Minsk. The other four FLIRTs are intended for intercity travel between the larger towns. These will have a more comfortable, higher level interior, in view of the longer journey times. The trains in Belarus will operate on a broad-gauge track of 1,524 millimeters, and have a larger clearance.
