- Peter Spuhler of Stadler Rail has filed a legal challenge against the SBB's multi-billion contract awarded to Siemens.
- Stadler claims their bid was undervalued despite only a 0.6% price difference compared to Siemens’ offer.
- The SBB maintain Siemens’ proposal is superior overall, saving hundreds of millions over the trains’ operational lifespan.
- This dispute risks delaying the deployment of 116 new double-deck trains primarily intended for Zurich and western Switzerland.
It would hurt if Stadler Rail had to file a complaint against our best customer, but if it has to be done, then it has to be done.— Peter Spuhler, Chairman of the Board of Stadler Rail, comments on the legal dispute with the SBB over the billion-dollar contract.

- SBB awarded a large contract for 116 double-deck trains to Germany’s Siemens, narrowly outpricing Swiss manufacturer Stadler Rail.
- The decision followed transparent public procurement rules focusing on the best price-performance ratio among three strong bids.
- Protectionism is seen as harmful since international trade rules enabled Stadler’s growth in previously closed European markets.
- SBB leadership stresses that favoring domestic suppliers is prohibited, even though this decision pressures Switzerland’s industrial sector.
A preference for markets, such as Switzerland, is prohibited.— SBB CEO Vincent Ducrot on the legal framework governing the procurement of trains.
