In 2002, Stockholms Lokaltrafik ordered new commuter trains from Alstom of the Coradia Nordic model. Coradia Nordic is a version of Coradia Lirex. The first trains, called X60, were put into service in 2005.
The trains consist of six units and are adapted for entry from a 73 cm high platform. In 2009, a new version called X61 were delivered to Skånetrafiken and Östgötatrafiken for service in southern Sweden.
These trains consist of four units and are adapted for entry from a 58 cm high platform. Unlike X60, they are also equipped with a toilet. They were put into service in 2010.
In the same year, a new version called X62 was delivered to Norrtåg for northern Sweden. They have a higher top speed, better comfort, and a bistro. X62 was put into service in 2011.
