Bombardier Transportation says it received an order worth $120 million for nine Regio 2N train sets from the French National Railway Corp., SNCF. The order was placed on behalf of the greater Paris public transport authority, Ile-de-France Mobilités.

The order is an option contained in a 2010 contract for a maximum of 860 trains signed with SNCF on behalf of the regions.

The double-deck train was designed to serve passengers on lines serving the suburbs 100 kilometers beyond the center of Paris. It features level accessibility at all stations, air conditioning, a travel information system and power outlets for mobile devices.

With these extra nine train sets, a total of 134 Regio 2N will be rolled out on the SNCF Transilien network on lines R, N and D. The first trains were commissioned in December 2017 on line R.

To date, 10 French regions have ordered 382 Bombardier OMNEO/Regio 2N trains. The OMNEO platform offers trains for suburban, regional and intercity services.
