A consortium comprised of Stadler and Siemens Mobility has completed the delivery of 106 new trains manufactured for the Berlin S-Bahn.
The new 483/484 series vehicles were delivered on schedule and are now fully operational across the city.
These trains aim to offer a higher level of passenger comfort and are thus equipped with air conditioning, modern passenger information systems and security cameras.
“As a company with Berlin roots, we are particularly proud that we are contributing to a sustainable improvement in the travel experience and comfort for passengers on the Berlin S-Bahn. The trains of the new 483/484 series not only shine through their reliability, more seats and air conditioning, but also through their modern, energy-efficient drive technology.”
Alongside replacing older vehicles, the new trains have increased the capacity of the S-Bahn network to enable longer trains to operate on the Ringbahn lines S41/S42 and the S8 line.
All 106 vehicles were ordered in 2015 and have been gradually put into operation since the beginning of 2021.
“The S-Bahn is an important link between Brandenburg and Berlin, especially for the many commuters. I am therefore pleased that the fleet is now complete. With significantly more space on board and many technical innovations, we are making climate-friendly public transport even more attractive. This is how traffic transition works.”
