Saudi Railway Company (SAR) has ordered a further ten Intercity trains developed for Saudi Arabia from Stadler, worth more than 300 million Swiss francs, thereby exercising an option from a roughly 600‑million‑franc contract. The fleet will double to 20 trains, and the existing maintenance agreement will be extended to cover the additional vehicles. The trains, about 175 metres long with seating for around 320 passengers, will be largely manufactured in Switzerland; commercial operations are expected to begin in the second half of 2029. On the SIX exchange, Stadler shares briefly rose by around 2.17% to 30.20 Swiss francs. » More on finanzen.net
