The "request" from SBCTA is not in the contract. The fleet is just more DMU euro trash. The new boss is the old boss.
"SBCTA requested that the vehicles are scalable, allowing the option to easily add an additional passenger car as required, and flexible, allowing for the implementation of zero emission propulsion technologies as they become appropriately suited for the service."
"The trains will be manufactured in Stadler’s new state-of-the-art US facility in Salt Lake City, Utah, thereby meeting Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) “Buy America” requirements."
"Stadler has been awarded the contract for a total value of USD 31.4 million to design and manufacture three (3) two-car FLIRT diesel-electric multiple-unit trains, with an option for three more for the Redlands Passenger Rail Project in the United States. The contract for the future Arrow service in Redlands marks the eighth in the United States for Stadler."
