Deutsche Bahn subsidiary Arriva has retained its contract to run the ‘Northern lines’ in the Netherlands until 2035 (...) Arriva said that it attached significant importance to delivering a more sustainable, environmentally friendly transport network in its bid. As a result, the existing fleet will be converted to energy saving, emissions-lowering hybrid trains, and the 18 new trains will be powered by biodiesel.
