Technical specifications

The trains are powered by diesel-hydraulic motors. [2] One end car has all wheelsets powered, the other end car has only one powered wheelset. All six wheelsets use active radial steering. [2] The trains are able to run in multiple unit formation. [3]

History

The trains entered service in November 1998. [3] Following problems and malfunctions, the fleet was returned to its manufacturer in Jenbach, and was overhauled, which increased their reliability. [4]

One unit was used at the Test- and Validationcenter Wegberg-Wildenrath for testing of an anti-collision system by the Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR). [5]

The Integral trains were withdrawn by Bayerische Oberlandbahn after their last day of service on July 25, 2020, being replaced by LINT 54 units. [6]

After their withdrawal from service in Bavaria, Integral trains were transferred to the Regiobahn GmbH in North Rhine-Westphalia, where they entered service on VRR S-Bahn line S28 in December 2020. [7]
