In further detail, Società Unica Abruzzese di Trasporto (SUAT) launched a tender for the supply of 10 electric/hydrogen bimodal trainsets for regional rail transport through a framework agreement.
The contract, worth €112.405 million plus VAT, will be signed “with a single supplier” for the duration of four years and provides for an initial application contract for the supply of three convoys.
The financing is covered by the complementary fund to the NRRP.

FerrovieNord in turn has issued a call for tender for the construction of the hydrogen train depot and maintenance plant in the Municipality of Rovato (Brescia) for a value of EUR 18.16 million plus VAT.
