According to Schoenherr, the contract represents Bulgaria’s first procurement of electric interregional rolling stock in two decades and will modernize national rail services by enhancing passenger comfort and safety and reducing carbon emissions. Alstom will deliver its Coradia Stream trains, each equipped with modern passenger amenities and energy-efficient technologies.
