Stadler SPATZ


The Stadler SPATZ or Schmalspur Panorama Trieb Zug is a narrow gauge multiple unit manufactured by Stadler Rail. It consists of three articulated sections. The centre section is high floor and contains the motors and traction equipment. The centre section is fitted with extra large panoramic windows. The end sections are similar to those of the Stadler GTW. They are low-floor and have a bogie at the outer end and are supported by the central section at the inner end.
Stadler SPATZ units are used on the adhesion sections of the Zentralbahn. The units can work alone, in multiple or with a control car.
Stadler SPATZ units are also used by the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn and SNCF on the Ligne de Saint Gervais - Vallorcine.
