Translated Description from PIKO: Novelty 2020 - Set of 2 supplementary cars for the PIKO ICE 4 of the DB AG Ep. VI. In 2011, Deutsche Bahn AG commissioned Siemens Mobility to build up to 300 new high-speed trains for use in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The new BR 412/812 motor coaches, developed jointly by Siemens and Bombardier, are powered by several cars, known as power cars. The train configuration provides various modular units from five-part to 14-part trains. With this concept, the train can be easily adapted to the individual requirements of the transport company for the desired acceleration, speed and number of seats. The DB has so far ordered as a basic configuration85 twelve eleven and 45 seven-car units, which consist of unpowered end or control cars, powered seating cars and on-board bistro, as well as non-driven seating, dining and service cars Seats over a length of 200 meters. A twelve-car multiple unit has six powered cars and 830 seats over a length of 346 meters. The top speed is 250 km / h. The outer form was based on the existing ICE fleet and developed further. Since December 2017, the first trains have been in regular service on the Hamburg W rzburg, Stuttgart M nchen and Hamburg Berlin M nchen lines.
