The Slovenian Railways (SZ) board decided on 3 April to buy new multiple units; the only bidder was Stadler Rail. Stadler formally signed its first contract in Slovenia on 17 April, for the supply of 26 units. The contract, worth €170 million, covers 11 single-deck FLIRT 4-car multi-system EMUs, five FLIRT 3-car diesel-electric multiple units and ten KISS 3-car double-deck EMUs. The EMUs will have maximum speed of 160 km/h and the DMUs 140 km/h. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in 24 months. There is an option for 25 extra vehicles.
