ELECTRIC DOUBLE-DECKER MULTIPLE UNIT KISS Georgian Railway (GR), Georgia In April 2016 Stadler and Georgian Railway signed an agreement for four-car KISS EMUs. The trains are used on express services between Tbilisi and the Black Sea resorts of Batumi, Kobuleti and Ureki, without any other intermediate stops. The acquisition is a notable one for Georgian Railway, since the 160 km/h KISSes are the first most modern passenger trains, of west European design, in the operator's fleet. They are fully compliant with European safety standards, and are the very first double deck trains in Georgia. These four car trains satisfy the growing demand for high-quality public transport and offer passengers great comfort in a bright and spacious interior, comfortable seats, full air conditioning, passenger information system, WiFi and other functions. One train has 396 seats, including 84 in business class, and a total capacity of 919 passengers. Trains fulfil all standards of Georgia and are the new standard for travel in the country www.stadlerrail.com Stadler Rail Group CJSC Stadler Minsk Ernst-Stadler-Strasse 1 47 Zavodskaya Str.
