Technical specifications

The trains were built by Stadler Rail with a maximum output of 4,500 kW and a top speed of 200 km / h.

The vehicle is a version of the Stadler FLIRT model that was supplied to the Norwegian Norges Statsbaner (NSB) as NSB Type 74 and NSB Type 75 . It largely corresponds to the same technical specifications, but with different equipment. The trains are designed to withstand the climate in the Swiss Alps and in the north.

A train consists of a total of five cars without tilting technology with a central aisle . He owns Jakobs bogies . If necessary, several trains can be coupled.

The sets with 2 + 2 seating have a kiosk, sockets at all seats, WLAN connection, access for the disabled and are air-conditioned. There is only one class of car. The passage through the train is not barrier-free because there are steps between the cars. The way to the toilets is sometimes problematic, as the kiosk located on both sides of the central aisle has to be crossed from different seats. Each car has a double sliding door for changing passengers with extendable steps.

Interior details include wall clocks from Swiss Breitling and adjustable reading lamps that are mounted on the seats. The interior, including the adjustable seats, is gray; some seats have a red backrest.
