The latest addition to the Zefiro family is the Zefiro Express. In 2018, Bombardier Transportation officially announced the order for Västtrafik.
Västtrafik is the agency responsible for public transport services in the county of Västra Götaland, Sweden. The manufacturer calls the new EMUs ‘high-speed electric multiple unit trains’. The contract includes an option for 60 additional trains. The trains can travel at 200km/h.
The three-car trains are designed for high capacity, premium passenger comfort, low operational cost, and the ability to operate under the harsh weather conditions prevalent in Nordics. They are expected to be in operation in 2021.
