The framework agreement between rail manufacturer Siemens and Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) for the purchase of up to 540 Mireo trains for local and regional transport amounts to approximately five billion euros. The first trains are scheduled to enter service from 2028.
The electric Mireo multiple units are considered environmentally friendly due to their energy efficiency and score points with their lightweight construction. The respective vehicle concept can be tailored to specific requirements using a modular system. Michael Peter, CEO of Siemens Mobility: "With numerous innovations, low energy consumption, and increased passenger comfort, the new Mireo trains will contribute to further enhancing the attractiveness of ÖBB's local and regional transport services."
