Romania’s Railway Reform Authority (ARF) has relaunched its tender for 12 hydrogen-powered electric trains for the fourth time.
The contract, worth between €319-494m ($336-520m), includes the purchase of maintenance and repair services for the trains to ensure an operational time of 15 years, and an option to extend up to 30 years.
The tender has been cancelled three times previously, twice due to a lack of bids and once due to the submission of a non-compliant bid. The last tender was cancelled in May (2024) after no offers were submitted.
