The longer carriage length of the LINT 54 allows for an extra set of doors per carriage, whilst the LINT 41 has only one set per carriage. Some transportation companies offer ticket machines in the door area. The trainsets are equipped with diesel engines with a rated power of , or depending on their delivery date. LINT 27 are equipped with a single engine, LINT 41 with two engines, LINT 54 with two or three engines, LINT 81 with four engines. The trains are mainly used in
Northern Germany and
North Rhine-Westphalia. They are also quite popular in other European countries. For example, in
Denmark they are being used by the largest non-state-owned operator,
Arriva (a total of 43 units: 30 delivered in 2004–2005, 11 delivered in 2010–11 and 2 delivered in 2012) as well as by
Lokalbanen A/S and
Regionstog (a total of 42 units delivered in 2006–2007). In the eastern provinces of the
Netherlands, they are operated by
Keolis Nederland (formerly
Syntus). They are also used in
Canada. Alstom delivered six new trains to operate on the
O-Train Trillium Line in
Ottawa. The new trains went into service on 2 March 2015, displacing the previous
Bombardier Talent fleet. In 2019
Inlandsbanan in Sweden bought 5 used LINT 41 from the Netherlands. They have been upgraded for usage on longer distances and are used for traffic in 2020. Lint 41 has 115 seats, while the Lint 54 can have between 150 and 180 seats.

In September 2012, Netinera ordered 63 Coradia LINT trains from Alstom, which would be used on services in
Rhineland-Palatinate. The order included some LINT 54 DMUs (160 seats) and 18 Lint 81 (270 seats).
iLint The Coradia iLint is a version of the Coradia Lint 54 powered by a
hydrogen fuel cell. Announced at
InnoTrans 2016, the new model is the world's first production
hydrogen-powered trainset. The Coradia iLint is able to reach and travel on a full tank of hydrogen. It is assembled at Alstom's Salzgitter plant. On 16 September 2018, the first Coradia iLint entered service on the
Buxtehude-
Bremervörde-
Bremerhaven-
Cuxhaven line in Lower Saxony, Germany. A mobile hydrogen filling station refuels the trains, but a stationary station is set to be built by 2021, along with 14 more train sets. In 2019,
Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund, the transit network serving the
Frankfurt Rhine-Main region, ordered 27 iLint multiple-units to be delivered by December 2022. Each train will have 160 seats. The units will replace diesel trains currently plying the
RB11 Frankfurt-Höchst – Bad Soden, RB12 Frankfurt – Königstein, RB15 Frankfurt – Bad Homburg – Brandoberndorf and RB16 Friedrichsdorf – Friedberg routes. The iLint operated its first North American route as a demonstration service from
Montmorency Falls to
Baie-Saint-Paul in
Quebec,
Canada, in summer 2023. InnoTrans 2016 – Alstom iLint with Fuel Cell Batteries (29782914176).jpg|iLint DSC09375 iLint auf Brücke zwischen Main-Lahn-Bahn und Werksbahn Industriepark Höchst über Hoechster Farbenstraße.jpg|iLint of
