The trains will be built in Alstom’s Salzgitter plant. Each train has a capacity of 370 passengers, with a maximum speed of 140km/h. They also have a multi-purpose area for wheelchairs, bicycles and prams and barrier-free access for fast embarkation, a real-time passenger information system and CCTV.
