Bombardier Transportation has received an order for 90 electric multiple units of the 430 series from DB Regio AG. The order value totals around 500 million euros (648 million US dollars). To date 87 trains of the same series 430 have already been ordered for the Stuttgart region and production of these is underway.DB Regio won a European-wide tender from the Rhein-Main-Verkersverbund (RMV) in November 2011, securing the transportation contract for the Rhein-Main rapid transit network. The new 90 four-car electric multiple units of the 430 series are to be used in the suburban-network Kleyer, covering more than 7.2 million train kilometres a year, from December 2014 onwards. The trains are able to accelerate rapidly and can reach speeds of up to 140 km/h during operation.
