One of the latest regional trains manufactured by Alstom Transport, the CORADIA Duplex is called TER 2N NG in France.
Six French regions (Centre, Lorraine, Nord-Pas de Calais, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, Picardie and Rhône-Alpes)
chose this modern electric regional train which is an evolution of the TER 2N railcar launched in 1997.

Unlike the TER 2N railcar which is a 2-car trainset, the TER 2N NG railcar exists in different versions: 2 or 3 cars (Z24500 series) on the one hand and 4 or 5 cars (Z26500 series) on the other hand according to the needs of the French regions.

The TER 2N NG railcars can circulate everywhere on the French electric rail network (1500 V DC and 25000 V AC).
In the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, these new railcars are used on the recently opened Cannes - Grasse - Nice - Vintimille line.
The electric railcars can be linked to one another thanks to the automatic Scharfenberg coupler made by Voith.

The railway company in Luxembourg also chose the CORADIA Duplex (CFL series 2200) to modernize its rolling stock.
