The Stadler WINK (German: Wandelbarer Innovativer Nahverkehrs-Kurzzug, lit. 'convertible, innovative short train for local transport') is a hybrid multiple unit railcar designed and built by Stadler Rail of Switzerland that entered service in the Netherlands in 2021.
The WINK was unveiled in November 2017 when European operator Arriva announced an order for 18 trainsets, which it planned to place in service in the northern Netherlands beginning in 2020.[1]
Upon delivery, repair and maintenance of the trainsets will be performed by Stadler in Leeuwarden through 2035.[2] The first trainsets were put into service on 12 April 2021.
