TWINDEXX VARIO® double-deck passenger carriage 1st/2nd Class 445 DB AG Ep. VI

Double-decker trains have successfully formed the backbone of regional transport for many years. Double-decker trains are the ideal solution, particularly on routes with short platforms and high passenger numbers. The tried-and-tested single-car concept of the TWINDEXX Vario double-decker fleet is now being supplemented by an electric multiple unit. Bombardier Transportation will deliver 16 Bombardier TWINDEXX Vario multiple units with regional train equipment to Deutsche Bahn AG. The new four-car multiple units of the Do 2010 generation each consist of 2 railcars and 2 intermediate cars. With the newly developed powered TWINDEXX Vario railcar, the trains can now also be used purely as double-decker multiple units. This means that, in addition to classic push-pull operation with an electric or diesel locomotive, it can also be used as an electric multiple unit. Depending on the application and the desired capacity, this railcar can be combined with an intermediate car and a control car. The central buffer coupling enables operation in double traction and thus the implementation of a wing concept. The trains with a combined high and low entry are comfortably equipped with generous seat spacing and plenty of storage space. The double-deck single wagons also allow the lengthening and shortening of the train set and thus an adjustment to fluctuating demand or future developments. They can therefore be used for a wide variety of operational applications in regional and long-distance traffic. Company number: 50 80 36-81 173-7
