The FLIRT 3 (Fast Light Innovative Regional Train) is a modern local transport multiple unit train from Swiss manufacturer Stadler Rail that was specially designed for use in regional and suburban rail traffic. Since its launch in 2012, the FLIRT 3 has been one of the best-selling electric multiple unit train families in Europe, impressing with its modularity, energy efficiency and high level of passenger comfort. The FLIRT 3 is designed as a low-floor electric multiple unit and consists of several wagon units coupled with Jacobs bogies. Depending on customer requirements, configuration of the vehicle length, number of seats and drive power is flexible – typical versions have three to six wagons. The vehicles reach a maximum speed of up to 160 km/h and are designed for high acceleration values in dense interval operation.
