德国铁路公司确认西班牙Talgo公司获得其时速230公里高速列车订单：56列新的Talgo230，价值约14亿欧元。

·该订单是2019年双方签署的最多100列车框架合同的一部分。

·已投运的23列车的基础上增购，使ICE L保有总量达到79列。

·将是所有列车中唯一从站台高度完全无障碍的ICE列车。

2023年5月17日，德国联邦铁路公司DeutscheBahn（DB）宣布了一项扩大其ICE高速列车车队的雄心勃勃的计划，这将为Talgo带来其建厂80多年来最大的列车供应合同：价值约14亿欧元的56列ICE L型高速列车。此外，德铁还向西门子采购了最高时速为320公里/小时的ICE 3Neo高速动车组，价值约6亿欧元。

西班牙Talgo这份新订单是2019年双方签署的框架合同的一部分，首笔订单为23列车，这两个订单将使Talgo制造的ICE L车队规模达到79列。

这些列车属于Talgo230技术平台，将由德国铁路公司以“ICE L”名称在全德国运营，该名称代表长途、高速服务，其所有车厢也将采用低地板（Intercity-ExpressLow-Floor)，因此将完全无障碍，这是西班牙公司在全球铁路行业中的独特能力。

56列新ICE L列车将与目前正在生产的23列相同，并将于2024年秋季开始逐步投入运营：它们是最先进的列车车型之一，具有更大的空间和更高的舒适度，组成为一节机车牵引17节客车，其中最后一节包含司机室，使操作更加灵活，这种配置在西班牙不为人所知，但在德国却很常见。

通过ICE L项目，德铁对Talgo技术作出高度评价，在2022年9月评论道：“经过深思熟虑的选择经过验证的车辆平台，以通过使用久经考验的组件实现更高的可靠性”。

Deutsche Bahn confirms Talgo the largest single order of its history: 56 new Talgo 230 trains worth approximately 1,400 million euros

  • As part of the framework contract signed in 2019 for a maximum of 100 trains.

  • Extension of the order placed in 2019 for 23 trains already under production, to reach a total fleet of up to 79 trains.

  • They will be the only ICE trains with full accessibility from platform height in all the train.

Berlin, May 17 2023

German federal railway company Deutsche Bahn today announced an ambitious plan to expand its ICE high-speed train fleet, which will result in the largest train supply contract for Talgo in its over 80-year history: 56 new units worth approximately 1,400 million euros. This new order is part of the framework contract signed in 2019 along with a first order for 23 trains. Both orders will take the Talgo-made ICE L fleet to reach 79 units.

The trains belong to the Talgo 230 technology platform and will be operated by Deutsche Bahn throughout Germany under the “ICE L” name, which designates long-distance, high-speed services that will also feature low-floor platform level in all their coaches (Intercity-Express Low-Floor) and will therefore be fully accessible, a unique capability of the Spanish company among the global rail industry.

The 56 new ICE L units will be identical to the 23 that are currently in production and that will gradually come into operation from autumn 2024: they are state-of-the-art trains, with more space and a high level of comfort, composed of a locomotive that provides traction to a 17 passenger coaches, of which the last one incorporates a driver's cab to make operations more flexible, in a configuration unknown in Spain but quite common in Germany.

For international routes

The multi-system locomotive, developed entirely by Talgo, is fully interoperable and will allow ICE L trains to travel not only within Germany, but also on international services connecting Berlin with Amsterdam quickly and without stopping at the border. The composition will also be compatible with locomotives from other manufacturers for operation, for example, on non-electrified lines.

Each train offers a total of 562 seats, 85 of them in first class and 477 in second class, including a bistro/cafeteria coach and another specifically designed for people with reduced mobility (PRM), and incorporates a new interior design scheme characterised by the combination of functionality and durability with the luminosity and warmth of the materials. Its new coaches also incorporate for the first time a new window designed to improve mobile phone and data coverage on board the train.

Proven reliability

With the ICE L project Deutsche Bahn is making a commitment to Talgo technology, a commitment that in September 2022 the company described as "a deliberate choice for a proven vehicle platform to achieve greater reliability through the use of tried-and-tested components".

Dr. Michael Peterson, Member of the Management Board for Long Distance Passenger Transport at DB has said today: "In the next few years, DB will undergo a major overhaul. This applies both to the rail network and to our trains. This year we will already receive an average of three new ICE trains per month. We are now accelerating the rejuvenation of our train fleet. In the process, we are also relying on additional ICE L trains from Talgo. The highlight of these trains is the level boarding and alighting, which significantly increases comfort for all passengers".

Carlos Palacio Oriol, President of Talgo, said: "The new order from Deutsche Bahn is the largest in the company's history and demonstrates the European operator's confidence in the innovations that our trains will bring to the German market, improving accessibility, comfort, energy efficiency and reliability".

"This new contract," Palacio added, "is great news for all the professionals at Talgo who work hard every day to manufacture the latest generation ICE L trains, and it is also great news for the Spanish railway industry and its technologies, due to the success of consolidating a national benchmark in the most dynamic and demanding long-distance railway market in Europe."

Last week, the Federal Minister for Digitalisation and Transport, Volker Wissing said at the FEDECOM 'Company of the Year' award ceremony held for Talgo in Berlin: "We in Europe are very ambitious when it comes to climate targets. By joining forces we can be much stronger, and that is why I am pleased that we inspire each other, that we support each other: that a Spanish company has helped to solve a problem we had in Germany".
