== Rolling stock == [[File:Stadler Flirt Keila jaamas1.jpg|thumb|Stadler Flirt in [[Keila]]]] Elron currently uses 38 [[Stadler FLIRT]] electric and diesel-electric trains. Delivery of the 12 three-car and 6 four-car [[Electric multiple unit|EMU]] and 6 two-car, 8 three-car and 6 four-car [[Diesel multiple unit|DEMU]]<ref>est-train.ertas.eu/dr/dmutab.php?lng=eng</ref> trains built by [[Stadler Rail]] started in 2012; by June 2014 all trains had arrived in Estonia.<ref>{{cite web |url = http://uus.elektriraudtee.ee/ajakava/ |title = Elektriraudtee | Ajakava |access-date = 11 June 2013 |url-status = dead |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130610055846/http://uus.elektriraudtee.ee/ajakava/ |archive-date = 10 June 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.railwaygazette.com/news/single-view/view/10/elektriraudtee-orders-stadler-flirt-trains.html |title = Elektriraudtee orders Stadler Flirt trains |date = 12 April 2010 |work = [[Railway Gazette International]]}}</ref> As of 2015, all of the old Soviet trains were retired. In mid-2019, Elron received permission to purchase 4 new [[hybrid train]]s with an option to add 2 electric trains. The decision was due to frequently overcrowding on the operator's most popular routes, given an increase of passenger number of more than a third since the replacement of the rolling stock with the Stadler fleet in 2014.<ref>{{cite web |url = https://news.err.ee/952218/estonian-government-gives-elron-permission-to-buy-new-trains |title = Estonian government gives Elron permission to buy new trains |date = 13 June 2019 |publisher = news.err.ee |language = en |access-date = 17 June 2019}}</ref> During October 2020, Elron announced that [[Škoda Transportation]] had won the procurement for six new electric trains with an option to buy 10 more. Škoda will provide six dual system electric trains ([[Škoda 7Ev|Škoda 21Ev]], InterPanter), currently set to begin operating on the electrified Tallinn-Tartu route in September 2025. The total sum of the six trains is €56.2 million, and the handover will be carried out in the second half of 2024. The trains are planned to have a number of replaceable seats that can be moved to create more space for bicycles in warm months and for more seating in colder months.<ref>{{cite web |title = Škoda to deliver trains to Estonia |url = https://www.railjournal.com/rolling-stock/skoda-to-deliver-trains-to-estonia/ |publisher = [[International Railway Journal]] |date = 1 November 2020 |first = Oliver |last = Cuenca}}</ref> In January 2023, the option to purchase 10 additional trainsets was taken up.<ref>{{cite web |url = https://www.globalrailwayreview.com/news/140976/elron-orders-10-additional-trains-from-skoda-group/ |title = Elron orders 10 additional trains from Škoda Group |publisher = globalrailwayreview.com |first = Elliot |last = Robinson |date = 25 January 2023}}</ref> {| class="toccolours" cellpadding="3" border="1" style="border-collapse:collapse |+ '''Elron rolling stock''' |- style="background:#fa6e17; color:white" ! rowspan="2" |Stock ! rowspan="2" |Type ! rowspan="2" |Introduced ! rowspan="2" style="width:25px;" |Cars ! colspan="3" |Seats ! rowspan="2" |Quantity |- ! style="width:25px; background:#fa6e17; color:white" |Configuration ! style="width:25px; background:#fa6e17; color:white" |I class ! style="width:25px; background:#fa6e17; color:white" |II class |- | rowspan="5" |[[Stadler FLIRT]] | rowspan="2" align="center" |[[Electric multiple unit|EMU]] | rowspan="2" align="center" |2013 | align="center" |3 | rowspan="2" align="center" |[[Commuter rail|Commuter service]] | align="center" |0 | align="center" |188 | align="center" |12 |- | align="center" |4 | align="center" |0 | align="center" |262 | align="center" |6 |- | rowspan="3" align="center" |[[Diesel multiple unit|DMU]] | rowspan="3" align="center" |2014 | align="center" |2 | rowspan="3" align="center" |[[Inter-city rail|Inter-city service]] | align="center" |16 | align="center" |89 | align="center" |6 |- | align="center" |3 | align="center" |24 | align="center" |137 | align="center" |8 |- | align="center" |4 | align="center" |48 | align="center" |166 | align="center" |6 |- | rowspan="2" |[[Škoda 7Ev|Škoda 21Ev]] | rowspan="2" |EMU | align="center" |''2025 (expected)'' | align="center" |3 | align="center" |Inter-city service | align="center" |32 | align="center" |204 | align="center" |6 + 5 ordered |- | align="center" |''2026 (expected)'' | align="center" |3 | align="center" |Commuter service | align="center" |0 | align="center" |263 | align="center" |0 + 5 ordered |- ! colspan="7" align="center" |Total !44 + 10 ordered |}
