Announcing the formation of the subsidiary on April 29, Stadler Rail said its ‘long-term commitment’ is to enable ‘rail vehicles with state-of-the-art technology, Swiss precision and craftsmanship to be built in North America’.

Stadler has sold 20 European-built GTW 2/6 diesel multiple-units to NJ Transit, six to Capital Metro in Austin, Texas, and 11 to Denton County Transportation Authority in Texas.
