Key FactsDispute Over Multi-Billion S-Bahn Train Contract

Nov 28, 2025 · Reading time: ~45 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: tagesanzeiger.ch

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.
