Bombardier will supply 27 additional OMNEO Premium trains to SNCF for France’s Normandy Region - Seite 2

 
In January 2020, Bombardier started delivering the first OMNEO trainsets from the initial order for 40 trains signed in November 2016 and these trains have already entered commercial operation. The Normandy Region is the first one to order OMNEO trains and Bombardier has developed a unique interior and exterior design to match the Region’s visual identity. 

The OMNEO Premium has been designed to offer France’s long-distance passengers an exceptional travel experience with high standards of comfort. Both in first and second class, each passenger
can enjoy two individual armrests, reclining seats, a reading light, USB and power plugs as well as a large table. 
 
Passengers can also find travel information on large LED screens spread across the train and TFT flat screens in the seating areas. A dynamic seat reservation system provides valuable information to passengers and the train’s floor plan has been slightly adjusted to reach 550 seats for each 135 m trainset in addition to offering space for twelve bicycles. 

The OMNEO platform, which includes the Regio 2N and the OMNEO Premium, is a family of extra-large double-deck trains which brings greater capacity, comfort and accessibility. Different versions can be adapted to urban, regional and intercity services. The performance of some 250 trains from this family in operation today contributes to the regularity of train services. 
 
To date, ten French regions have ordered a total of 455 OMNEO/Regio 2N trains. The OMNEO platform offers trains for suburban, regional and intercity services. Orders per region are as follows: 118 OMNEO Premium trains for Centre-Val de Loire (32), Hauts-de-France (19) and Normandy (67); and 337 Regio 2N for Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (59), Brittany (26), Centre-Val de Loire (14), Hauts-de-France (25), Île-de-France (142), Nouvelle Aquitaine (24), Occitanie (18), Pays-de-la-Loire (13) and Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur (16).
