Mainland Europe
The Coradia LINT, originally designed by Linke-Hofmann-Busch (LHB), before their acquisition by Alstom, is a diesel-powered light train similar to the Siemens Desiro and Bombardier Talent. It is used by a number of railways in Germany (DB class 640 and 648), the Netherlands, and Denmark.
The Coradia Continental is sold to several operators in Germany. The first series to be introduced will be the BR 440 of Deutsche Bahn. The Coradia Duplex is a double-decker model, used for TER services in France (designated Class Z 26500), by Chemins de Fer Luxembourgeois (designated CFL 2200), and in Sweden.
Sweden
The Coradia Nordic is used for Storstockholms Lokaltrafik (designated X60) for commuter services in the Stockholm area. Several more contracts are realised for other Swedish operators, principally Skånetrafiken in Skåne County. Both the Continental and Nordic varieties were originally marketed as ‘Coradia Lirex’.
A version of the Coradia Duplex, the SJ X40 is used by SJ AB, was suppsed to be used for regional traffic around the lake of Mälaren in Sweden. Now SJ AB uses the train as intercity between Stockholm and Gothenburg.
Finland
The VR Class Sm4[1] is used for local and regional traffic from Helsinki to Leppävaara, Vantaankoski, Tampere and Kouvola.
North America
The Coradia LINT, was introduced in service in North America in 2015 by OCTranspo's Capital Railway in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, where six units operate an LRT-like service as the O-train Trillium line.
