The Bayern railway authority BEG in Germany has initiated the selection process for a company to operate Allgäu regional passenger services using a future fleet of emission-free tilting multiple units. These new trains will have the capability to operate using overhead electric, hydrogen, and battery power, marking a significant shift towards sustainable transportation. The current services, operated by DB Regio using diesel multiple-units, are set to be replaced by modern tilting trains to improve operational efficiency. The upcoming Neigetechnik Allgäu contract, expected to be awarded in Q2 2025, will introduce cutting-edge technology to optimize transfer connections in the Allgäu network. Reliability is a key focus for BEG, with the Managing Director stressing the importance of the new trainsets proving themselves in everyday operations before full fleet replacement. Bavarian Transport Minister Christian Bernreiter praised the initiative, highlighting the need for modern tilting trains to support the region's timetables effectively. The rolling stock order will also include trainsets for Expressverkehr Nordostbayern services. Additionally, Transdev's Bayerische Oberlandbahn has been awarded a contract to continue regional DMU services, with potential electrification plans in the future, demonstrating a commitment to sustainable and efficient rail transportation.
