The new generation FLIRT Evo marks the start of a comprehensive
modernisation of regional rail services in Switzerland. Developed
and built by Swiss manufacturer Stadler, the FLIRT Evo builds on
the success of the FLIRT multiple units in service since 2004. To
meet various operator requirements, the Evo trains represent a
largely new development compared with the previous FLIRT 3 models,
reflected not only in the arrangement of windows and doors but also
in completely redesigned roof structures and front ends.
The regional rail operator Thurbo has played a key role in the
launch of operations: the first scheduled services took place on
its network, making it a pioneer of the new generation of rolling
stock. This also comes in a special year: Thurbo will celebrate its
25th anniversary in 2026.
