Stadler Rail has positioned itself as a supplier complementing the global rail vehicle builders such as Alstom, Bombardier, and Siemens. The company independence is an important basic strategic value for them. In 1942 Ernst Stadler founded the Stadler Engineering Office which later became Stadler Rail. Today Stadler Rail Group employs over 4000 people in a total. 2400 of them are based in Switzerland and around 800 in Germany. In 2011 the consolidated turnover reached 1'250 million Euros. In 2005, the company achieved a total turnover in excess of Euro 500 million, reaching a size at which its current owner decided to look for an equity partner to broaden the company's shareholder base. The partnership between the entrepreneur and sole shareholder Peter Spuhler and Capvis opens a new range of strategic options to the company. Capvis, the leading Swiss private equity firm, acquired a 20% stake in Stadler Rail Group from current owner and CEO Peter Spuhler. Most of the information on this article are from Stadler Rail, Capvis, Wikipedia and Railways company internet resources.

Siemens AG Mobility page provides knowledge of many state of the art Siemens manufactured EMUs and Locomotives.

		Stadler Rolling Stock Manufacturing The Stadler Rail Group focuses on regional and suburban traffic, light S-rail traffic, the tram and rack railway sectors. The production range spans from individually customized vehicles through small and medium series to the upgrading of rolling stock. More on Stadler EMUs, DMUs and Trams...
		Stadler Locomotives In addition to its respectable line of EMUs and DMUs Stadler manufactures many other vehicles for rail use. Recently the new Swiss switcher / road switcher locomotives have received a lot of positive publicity. When travelling in Switzerland you quickly start noticing many little electric or diesel locomotives on the sidings of stations. These are now being replaced with modern electric and hybrid (electric+diesel) locomotives. The new locomotives of Swiss class Ee 922 (dual electric 15kV 16,7 Hz and 25kV 50Hz) and Eem 923 (hybrid electric and diesel) are in fact quite powerful despite the fact that they look little. SBB's passenger division has ordered 21 Ee 922 and SBB Cargo 30 Eem 923 for switching and the "last mile". Expect to see these units in all kinds of work in local and medium range in Switzerland.

Stadler Rail Multiple Units
	Stadler Rail has grown rapidly in the latest years due to its approach to tailor its products to any customer needs. It has been so successful that it has even replaced former large builder Alstom on many markets. The train sets which are called Flirt, Kiss, GTW2/6 and GTW 2/8 are both cheaper and technically much more advanced than the offering of the French company. Currently Stadler is by volume the third largest manufacturer after Siemens and Bombardier.
	Flirt EMU The Fast Light Innovative Regional Train is a huge success story. With its ability to adapt to any market Stadler has been able to penetrate new markets efficiently with this product. So far over 700 Flirt EMUs have been sold, and more keep appearing from the Stadler Rail manufacturing line. Currently the nose design is being changed to more crash resistant model, adapted specifically to conform with the European Union norms. Flirt EMUs are / will shortly be operated on most European countries, excluding Sweden, Denmark and Latvia. More on Stadler Flirt EMUs...
	KISS and DOSTO EMUs The KISS ("Komfortabler, innovativer, spurtstarker S-Bahn-Zug") complements the FLIRT product line in the most densest trafficked lines and like for the Westbahn (in picture by Peider Swisstrip) also regional semi high speed service. The KISS is for manufacturer Stadler again taking their challenges successfully one step further. Looks like the railroads are starting to look more and more innovative and high tech like they originally were! More on Stadler KISS and DOSTO EMUs...
	GTW 2/6 and 2/8 DMUs and EMUs GTWs are a product with ingenious engineering combined with unmatched modularity. Since many GTW units have their power provided by a diesel module, this form offers benefits to the markets inaccessible for the Flirt EMUs.
	Here is an older version of the GTW, you have to admit the newer design is SO much more attractive. But the general structure is already there.

SBB's passenger division has ordered 21 Ee 922 and SBB Cargo 30 Eem 923 for switching and the "last mile". These switchers are equipped with HEP for switching and heating passenger coaches and radio equipment for remote operation and can work in multiple. With a top speed of 100 km/h or 120 km/h and electric brakes with regenerative braking (dynamic braking that feeds electricity back to networks) they can also be useful in light work on main lines. Expect to see these units in all kinds of work in local and medium range in Switzerland!
	A brand new SBB class Ee locomotive is doing switching at Basel station in Switzerland. Look at the spacious cab with an excellent visibility outside. Every detail of the locomotive has been thought carefully. A clear sign how Stadler Rail excels providing solutions to its customers!
