Deutsche Bahn orders an additional 17 ICE 3neo
trains from Siemens Mobility
ICE 3neo fleet grows to 90 trains
Additional order volume of around €600 million
High-speed climate protection thanks to short
delivery times
Trains from first order already in service
Siemens Mobility will
deliver an additional 17 ICE 3neo trains worth around €600 million to Deutsche
Bahn (DB). The ICE 3neo fleet, based on the Velaro MS platform, will then grow
to a total of 90 trains. Deutsche Bahn first ordered 30 ICE 3neo trains from
Siemens Mobility in July 2020, and called up 43 further trains in January 2022.
With this new order, the original framework agreement for 90 trains signed in
July 2020 has been completed. The ICE 3neo trains will be manufactured at the
Siemens Mobility plant in Krefeld and delivered by August 2028. Trains that
were first ordered have been in passenger service since December 2022, after
being built in record time.

“Deutsche Bahn will be
undertaking a comprehensive rejuvenation over the coming years. This includes
our nationwide rail network as well as our trains. This year we are already
taking delivery of an average of three new ICE trains per month. And we are
further accelerating the renewal of our fleet. In doing so, we’ll also be
relying on additional ICE 3neo trains from Siemens. The first trains to be
delivered have been in service since December 2022 and are proving extremely
successful,” said Dr. Michael Peterson, DB Board Member for Long Distance
Passenger Transport.
“With the delivery of
90 ICE 3neo trains, Siemens Mobility is providing a large share of DB’s new
capacity for long-distance passenger transport. The trains are based on our
proven Velaro platform, ensuring short delivery times, long-term viability,
reliable operation, and a speedier transportation transition. The first trains
of the ICE 3neo family have been impressing passengers since December 2022 with
their refined comfort and advanced technology,” said Michael Peter, CEO of
Siemens Mobility.
With its top speed of
320 km/h, the ICE 3neo is one of the fastest members of the ICE fleet. The
train has 439 seats and numerous innovations providing improved comfort and
convenience:
Special window panes
for stable mobile phone reception
Eight spaces for
bicycles in each train
Redesigned luggage
racks with more space
Lighting tones that
change depending on the time of the day
Tablet holders and
power outlets at all seats, including 2nd class
Additional doors for
speedier boarding and alighting at stations
A new door lift to
provide easier access for wheelchair users
The eight-car trains
are equipped with four different voltage systems so they can in the future provide
cross-border service on international connections from Germany to Belgium and
the Netherlands.
