The DSB series MF is a three-part diesel multiple unit designed in Denmark for Danske Statsbaner by the manufacturer ABB Scandia in Randers for national transport.

The design has been widespread in Denmark since 1989 under the designation IC3 . Since 1993 there has been a further development with the designation IR4 (see DSB series ER ); a four-part electric multiple unit that can be driven in a train with the IC3 . For the Danish private railways, a two-part, more simply equipped variant was also developed under the name IC2 .

Design and technology

Its specialty is a fold-away driver's cab that can be converted into a passage. In this way, a maximum of five IC3 or IR4 units can be coupled to form a continuous train. Several units are connected using automatic Scharfenberg couplings . Thanks to the rubber bead, the intercar transition is draft-tight. As a rule, the rubber bulges are filled with compressed air and thus kept in shape; they are emptied for coupling and uncoupling.

A unit consists of three car bodies (motor car MFA + intermediate car FF + motor car MFB), which rest on a total of four bogies (two of which are Jakobs bogies ). It has a Bo'2'2'Bo 'wheel arrangement, four diesel engines from the manufacturer Deutz , a mechanical power transmission and reaches a top speed of 180 km / h. The originally installed Deutz BF8L513CP (V8 cylinder, air-cooled) engines each had an output of 294 kW. From 2005 the vehicles were re-engineered and all engines were replaced by new ones of the TCD2015 type (V6 cylinder, water-cooled), also from Deutz, with 330 kW each. The order comprised 380 drive modules with a total volume of 55 million euros. In the course of the re-engine, the original transmissions (5-speed automatic transmission type Ecomat 5HP600 from manufacturer ZF Friedrichshafen ) were replaced by new 12-speed automatic transmission type AS Tronic Rail (variant 12 AS 2303 R), also from ZF Friedrichshafen.

The drive motors are two A-motors each, which are necessary for the energy supply, and two B-motors for pure driving operation. Even if only one A-motor is still ready for use, it is possible to continue driving.

The individual vehicles are equipped differently:

model series Vehicle
numbers 		Seats length Type power Remarks
MFA 5001-5096 1st class: 16
2nd class: 22nd 		20,540 mm Railcar 2 × 294 kW 5093–5096 Purchased from Blekinge Länstrafik AB in 1993,
formerly SJ Y2 1367, 1368, 1370, 1371
FF 5401-5496 2nd class: 64 17,740 mm Middle car
MFB 5201-5296 2nd class: 36 20,540 mm Railcar 2 × 294 kW

The multiple units are equipped with the ATC train control system for Denmark and the MF 5076 to 5092 units with PZB 90 (Indusi) for Germany . These were used, among other things, for the EuroCity trains on the Vogelfluglinie from Copenhagen via Puttgarden until December 2019 . From 2020 IC trains will run from Aarhus via Padborg to Hamburg and from Copenhagen via the Great Belt to Hamburg.

The ET series , which runs between Denmark and Sweden, is a similar design . Although these trains are outwardly similar to the IC3 , it is a new development that cannot be operated in combination with the IC3 or IR4 .

The unit MF 5006 set a Danish speed record between Årup and Middelfart on October 22, 1991 with 204.6 km / h.

A comprehensive renovation program was set up for the trains in 2018, with large parts of the interior being replaced. In addition, new carpets and seats are installed. After the investment of 250 million crowns, the trains will remain in operation for another ten years.

On November 13, 2019, the first six trains equipped with ETCS were returned to operations from the workshop in Langå . The upgrade with the signal system was carried out in close cooperation between Banedanmark, the supplier Alstom and DSB.

commitment

Before the Storebæltsbro went into operation on June 14, 1998, the IC3s were used in Denmark as follows:

RENFE series 594

Railcar in Spain after conversion

The Spanish RENFE received 22 trains of this type in a modified, two-part version. The railcars, classified in the 594 series, were supplied under license by CAF , they run on four bogies for Iberian broad gauge. Eight double railcars are equipped with tilting technology, the fronts of the other 14 have meanwhile been rebuilt so that the accessible connection between the train parts was omitted. Two units received umspurbare bogies according to the system CAF Brava ( B ogy de r odadura de a NCHO v ariable a utopropulsado , driven bogie with variable gauge) for the transition on the control track .

Use in Sweden and Israel

IC3 trains were sold to Sweden and Israel and are in service there.

Of the 20 IC3 sets originally used in Sweden under the designation Y2 (1367 to 1386) in regional traffic on the Stångådalsbana and Tjustbana , the units 1379-1384 still operate as Kustpilen today . 1367, 1368, 1370 and 1371 came from Blekinge Kustbana to DSB in 2003 and were re-designated as MF 5093 to 5096.

Y2 1376 was repaired after an accident in Nosaby in 2004 and sold to Israel with the other nine vehicles. They were first deployed between Be'er Scheva and Naharija and can now be found on the entire Israeli rail network, connecting Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

In 2011 there were considerations to buy back multiple units from Israel due to a lack of vehicles in Denmark. According to the manufacturer, the necessary knowledge for a restructuring of the vehicles is available. After a revision, the multiple units could run for another 20 years.
