Jon WorthI’m at #Innotrans all day. I’ll sporadically post in this thread.
First impression: CRRC (Chinese manufacturer) has the main advert at Messe Süd
And here it is! The most stupid rail vehicle currently produced. A hydrogen tram 🤬 Hyundai-Rotem #Innotrans
The Talgo electric locomotive for DB - series 105 - is here. They didn’t already build 19 of these I hope? 🤔 #Innotrans
Končar has a battery electric multiple unit here. That seems to charge only from a cable, not from an overhead wire in a terminus #Innotrans
And if you’re going “what’s wrong with a hydrogen tram?” you’re going to be dealt with totally scornfully. Put up a wire. That’s it. #Innotrans
As is a Stadler built new U-Bahn for Berlin - for the narrow profile lines. This is built super solidly, and is more roomy than existing designs. Impressive design. #Innotrans
There’s an Alstom Coradia Max EMU. Mix of single and double deck carriages. Inside it feels cramped - feels like they’re trying to cram in too many seats. #Innotrans
Michael Ummels (Trassenfinder)@jon Will be interesting to see how these compare to the units for Baden-Württemberg, which are supposed to be equipped with a "premium" interior.
So sehen die 130 neuen Doppelstockzüge fürs Land aus
Mit den neuen Zügen des Herstellers Alstom baut das Land den Regionalverkehr massiv aus. Rund 2,5 Milliarden Euro werden dafür investiert. Kein anderes Bundesland hat bisher einen so großen Einzelauftrag für Regionalzüge erteilt. Für die Fahrgäste bedeuten die neuen Fahrzeuge mehr Komfort.
