The order is for three 2-car Mireo Plus H trains. Ordered by the Free State of Bavaria, the hydrogen trains will replace the diesel trains currently operating from the network's Mühldorf hub, significantly reducing CO2, noise and exhaust emissions in the region.
The new trains will have nine places for bicycles and special radio frequency transparent windows for improved mobile phone reception. The Mireo Plus H will be equipped with the European Train Control System (ETCS). In addition to the series contract, Siemens Mobility has also been awarded a service contract for the hydrogen supply system of the trains.
The hydrogen trains will serve eight stations on the 32.3-kilometre non-electrified line between Mühldorf (Upper Bavaria), Tüßling and Burghausen.
