First call for 70 trains from the 2023
framework agreement
Order worth more than €800 million
Consistent development of the Mireo
platform
Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) has ordered the first 70
trains from the framework agreement won by Siemens Mobility at the end of
summer 2023. The trains will be delivered in three different versions from late
2027 onwards. The trains are a further development of the in Europe successfully
established and proven Mireo electric multiple-units. Designed to operate at
speeds up to 160 km/h, the Mireos offer numerous amenities for passengers,
including air conditioning, WiFi service, barrier-free access, electrical plugs,
racks for skis and snowboards, capacity for buggies and wheelchairs near the
doors as well as space for bicycles. The cars will be wider than on previous
Mireos trains to further enhance the passenger experience of ÖBB customers.
And, for the first time, Siemens Mobility is designing the new trains with
inner bearing bogies as a single car concept.
