Stadler has begun delivery of its second U.S.-manufactured project: The first of three diesel-multiple unit (DMU) trains built for the San Bernardino County Transit Authority (SBCTA) have left Stadler’s Salt Lake City manufacturing plant. Upon arrival in San Bernardino County, California, all three DMU vehicles are scheduled to undergo extensive testing on SBCTA’s infrastructure. In September 2017, SBCTA ordered three diesel-electric low-floor multiple unit FLIRTs from Stadler for the Redlands Passenger Rail Project. The trains will operate on a nine-mile commuter route with five stations in the corridor between the San Bernardino Transit Center and the University of Redlands.
