Show FullscreenThe delivery of the first IC5 ‘is a major milestone – not only for DSB, but also for the future of train traffic in Denmark’, DSB CEO Flemming Jensen said on September 18.
’It is visible proof that we are well on our way to a fully electric train fleet.
DSB was seeking a proven design following its experience with the troubled AnsaldoBreda IC2 and IC4 DMU fleets.
The IC5 is part of Alstom’s customisable Coradia Stream family, which is in service in countries including Italy and the Netherlands.
The IC5 order forms part of a wider national rail investment programme which includes 25 kV 50 Hz electrification and resignalling.
