2023 Winners

Rolling Stock Excellence Stadler

Both the METRO trains for the Liverpool City Region and FLIRT DMUs for Transport for Wales were introduced into passenger service. The first METRO trains for the Tyne and Wear Metro arrived in Newcastle in February, and the first CITYLINK for Transport for Wales has been transported to Cardiff. The first trimode locomotive for Rail Operations (UK) is scheduled to arrive in the UK soon.

Accepting the award, Peloton spoke to Stadler about the role of innovation in rail and heard: “Innovation is the cornerstone of the Stadler business and key to our success. We are leading the transformation from diesel-powered trains to zero-emission rolling stock, using electric power from batteries on non-electrified networks. We are also keen to build electric trains that access power from overhead catenaries, which is the most environmentally-friendly way of operating trains.”
