Luxembourg Expands Coradia Fleet: Modern Trains to Power Sustainable Mobility by 2026

Luxembourg’s national railway company, CFL, is rolling out its new generation of Coradia Stream High Capacity trains — part of a €400 million European project aimed at making rail the “backbone of mobility” in Luxembourg and the Greater Region.

Built by Alstom in Barcelona, these modern trains promise a smarter, greener, and more connected travel experience. With 34 new trains expected by the end of 2026, CFL will boost its overall seating capacity by 46% to meet growing passenger demand.

Currently, 14 trains are in operation on routes including Luxembourg–Diekirch, Kleinbettingen–Arlon, and Esch-sur-Alzette–Audun-le-Tiche, with more being delivered and tested.

Inside, passengers enjoy bright interiors, seamless carriage connections, Wi-Fi, USB-C ports, and real-time passenger counting sensors. The trains also feature predictive maintenance technology — transmitting technical data every 30 seconds to detect and fix issues before they disrupt service, ensuring greater reliability and fewer delays.

Each Coradia unit undergoes strict inspection and testing before entering service in Luxembourg. Already approved for Belgium, the trains now connect Arlon and will expand to Athus, Libramont, and northern France by early 2026.

CFL’s future plans include introducing a new 2500 series by 2032 to extend cross-border connectivity into Germany, reinforcing its long-term vision of sustainable, efficient, and regional rail mobility.
