Commuter and regional trains People want to stay mobile – and preferably be as comfortable, flexible, and eco-friendly as possible in the process. Thanks to intelligent train concepts, you can fulfill these desires. And more: Platforms like Desiro and Mireo offer you new entrepreneurial freedom and your customers a totally new quality of ride.

Faster arrival, easier customized planning, more mobility

Speed

Passengers want to arrive quickly and punctually. With a standard speed up to 160 km/h, the Desiro and Mireo train platforms ensure a short travel time and greater flexibility. Depending on the type of deployment, from regional to interregional service, maximum speeds up to 200 km/h are also possible.

Deployment

Modern, intelligent train concepts have to ensure reliability on the tracks worldwide. Desiro and Mireo are designed to excel at a variety of service tasks – be it commuter, regional, or interregional service – including across borders and regardless of climatic conditions or changes in infrastructure.

Capacity

When the traffic volume and demand for mobility increase, operators need to contend with higher capacity requirements. With Desiro and Mireo, the number of cars, vehicle width, car length, and loading gauge (single- or double-deck cars) can be flexibly and modularly adapted to current requirements by means of variations and combinations.

The train family
