The Alstom Coradia LINT is a single-unit or two-unit articulated railcar manufactured by Alstom, offered in diesel and hydrogen models. The acronym LINT is short for the German "leichter innovativer Nahverkehrstriebwagen" (light innovative local transport rail vehicle). It was designed by Linke-Hofmann-Busch (LHB) (acquired 1996 by Alstom) and has been distributed as part of Alstom’s Coradia family.
The type designation gives the vehicle's length: The one-piece type LINT 27 has a length of 27.26 metres (89 ft 5 in) and is also known as Baureihe 640 (DB class 640) of Deutsche Bahn. The two-part train, LINT 41, is 41.89 metres (137 ft 5 in) long. In Germany it is called Baureihe 648 (DB Class 648).
The Alstom Coradia LINT is part of Alstom Coradia family of Inter-city trains which includes multiple unit diesel (DMU) or electric (EMU) as well as double-decker trains. The LINT family offers capacities ranging from 70 to 300 seated passengers. They operate at speeds ranging from 100 to 180 km/h (62 to 112 mph). The Coradia range are manufactured in Salzgitter in Germany, Reichshoffen in France and Savigliano in Italy.
The Italian adaptation is called Coradia Minuetto, and the French version, used in France and Luxembourg, is classed as Class X 73500 (A-TER).
The one-piece railcars have 315-kilowatt (422 hp) engines and a maximum speed of 120 km/h (75 mph). The train has 52 2nd class seats, eight 1st class 1 seats and 13 tip-up seats. Up to three cars can run together in multiple unit form.
