In October 2021, Stadler emerged as the winner of the tender held by Swiss Federal Railways (SBB), Thurbo and RegionAlps to award a framework agreement for up to 510 single-decker FLIRT multiple units. An unsuccessful bidder had filed an appeal against the award, but the Federal Administrative Court has now rejected this objection.

In October 2021, Swiss Federal Railways (SBB), Thurbo and RegionAlps awarded Stadler a framework agreement for the manufacture and delivery of up to 510 single-decker FLIRT multiple units. The Swiss Federal Administrative Court has rejected the objection of an unsuccessful bidder from last year. Consequently, Stadler has come out on top in another hard-fought international tender with its proven FLIRT vehicle concept. 

In an initial call-off, the order of 286 FLIRT with an order volume of around 2 billion Swiss francs is planned. The framework agreement includes an option for up to 224 additional FLIRT vehicles.

The FLIRT model from Stadler is a single-decker multiple unit for local and long-distance services. Taking into account the framework agreement for SBB, Stadler has now sold its best-selling vehicle over 2,500 times in 20 countries – from the Arctic Circle to Africa.
