The Be 4/4 8 is an electric multiple unit of the Meiringen-Innertkirchen-Bahn (MIB) and is unique due to the shortness of the route and the consequent low demand for vehicles .
It was built by Stadler Rail and put into service on May 3, 1996 . The meter-gauge vehicle runs on two two-axle bogies, each with a three-phase drive motor installed lengthways. The traction motors are supplied by a GTO converter. The car body is divided into two driver's cabs, two entry areas, one of which is designed as a multi-purpose room, and a passenger area with transverse seats in the shape of a compartment typical of Switzerland and a central aisle. The entrance doors are double-leaf swing doors. In terms of vehicles and brakes, the railcar complies with the Brünig and Bernese Oberlandbahn standards. This enables transfer towing and use as a tow car . The installation of a contact wire-independent auxiliary drive was dispensed with for reasons of cost.
