“Our Desiro ML trains are especially popular with passengers as well as rail operators,” said Albrecht Neumann, CEO Rolling Stock at Siemens Mobility. “This order for 27 additional Desiro ML trains brings the Siemens fleet in Austria to a total of over 270. We are delighted that ÖBB is continuing to choose our Desiro ML for the modernization of its fleet.”
The new trains will offer even more space, comfort and convenience on inner-Alpine routes when they enter service in 2025. This will make it even more attractive for passengers and commuters to switch from private transport to rail.
