In the following years, inventions such as the first electric trolleybus, mine locomotives, and the first underground railway in continental Europe (in Budapest), set the path from trams and subways to today's high-speed trains. Siemens, alongside ThyssenKrupp and Transrapid International, was part of the Germa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Siemens Viaggio Comfort
Siemens Viaggio Comfort is a brand of locomotive-hauled railroad passenger cars built by Siemens Mobility. The car was designed in the early 2000s and was based on the earlier Siemens Viaggio Classic railcars. The railcars were first used in 2008 on Railjet, a high-speed rail service in Europe operated by the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) and Czech Railways (ČD). History Siemens first produced the Viaggio Comfort railcars in response to a request by the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) for locomotive-hauled push-pull trainsets for its upcoming Railjet high-speed rail service. Typically, high-speed rail services use electric multiple units, but ÖBB had recently purchased a fleet of Siemens EuroSprinter electric locomotives that it wanted to continue to use. After a bidding process, it was announced in February 2006 that the Siemens Viaggio Comfort was the best design as well as the least expensive. The initial February 2006 order was for 23 sets of 7-coach trains, which w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
