History

The Z2 family of multiple units was designed by Francorail and Ateliers de construction du Nord de la France. CFL selected a variant of the Z 11500 class for their network.

Since 2024, the 2000 series is being replaced by the Class 2400 and 2450, a series of 34 Coradia Stream railcars from the Coradia family produced by Alstom, which is due to increase the CFL's total seat capacity by 46%.^[2] All units are due to be transferred to Romania's Ferotrans TFI (a new comer on the Romanian market) by the end of 2025,^[3][4][5] with ten having left Luxembourg by 22 June 2025.^[6]

Construction

The individual cars are built with steel frames.

Technical

The multiple working system allows three units to be worked as a single train with one driver. The individual vehicles are numbered (in UIC format) as 94 82 00 20xx 1-y and 94 82 00 20xx 2-y, where 20xx is the unit number and y the check digit.
