The 20 new electric trains that the Ministry of Transport is to buy from Alstom will be financed by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), the Railway Reform Authority announced today, an institution headed since 20 October by Stefan Roșeanu who replaced Gigi Gavrilă. ARF will also purchase through the NRRP another 12 hydrogen electric trainsets and 16 new electric locomotives that can reach 160 km/h and pull up to 16 wagons.

The contract for the 20 Inter-Regional trains could be signed with Alstom by the end of the year, as the Final Report of the Evaluation Commission, which has received the necessary clarifications from the National Agency for Public Procurement (ANAP) regarding the CRRC – Astra Arad joint venture’s bid, is currently being analyzed.

Procedurally, once Alstom’s bid is designated the winner (as it is the only one that remains valid), appeals can be lodged with the National Council for the Settlement of Disputes (CNSC) and the Bucharest Court of Appeal (CAB), but the new public procurement law obliges the contracting authority to sign the contract after the CNSC’s decision.

Regarding the tender for the 40 regional trains, after the former ARF management decided to cancel the procedure, the CNSC rejected Alstom and CRRC’s appeals against the cancellation of the tender.

ARF purchases to be financed through the NRRP:

“With regard to the sustainable rolling stock procurement projects falling within the scope of ARF’s activities, the NRRP provides for the procurement of environmentally friendly rolling stock (electric-EMU/battery-B-EMU/hydrogen-H-EMU) to run trains both on the national rail network as long-distance trains (IR and IC type) and short-distance trains (R type), as well as in metropolitan service (S-Bahn type).To this end, it is planned to procure:

– 20 EMUs (electric trainsets – RE-IR-Electric Interregio – long-distance trains with 6 units);

– 12 H-EMUs (hydrogen electric trainsets with 3+1 units);

– 16 new 4-axle electric locomotives with ERTMS system capable of speeds of 160 km/h and pulling trains of up to 16 wagons”, ARF reported.

The contract for the 20 new Inter-Regional electric trains is worth 1.3 billion lei and can be increased up to 37 units. Hydrogen trainsets are proposed on the Bucharest – Pitesti train line, the entire investment including the renewal of the line is estimated at 380 million euro. The last purchase of new rolling stock at CFR Călători was more than 15 years ago, with the purchase of Desiro – Blue Arrow railcars.
