Desiro ML
The New Multiple Unit for Use in
Commuter, Regional and Interregio Trafc
Mobility today is facing myriad challenges.
The volume of trafc is increasing, and
with it the demands of modern railway
operators. A connection needs to be fast,
punctual and absolutely safe. This calls
for exible, functional systems that allow
an improved utilization of available re-
sources. Systems that are highly available
and reliable to ensure protable and cost-
effective operations while ensuring
sustained customer satisfaction.
These higher expectations and require-
ments have been taken into account in
the design of the Desiro ML.
It enables the operators to implement new,
innovative trafc concepts in commuter,
regional and Interregio trafc. With a
maximum speed of 160 km/h and high
acceleration, the Desiro ML is perfectly
equipped for these tasks and allows various
train congurations, traction systems and
customized, versatile outtting variants
for specic trafc applications.

Thanks to their low-oor entrances,
the trains afford convenient, barrier-free
boarding for passengers, for families with
baby carriages and for passengers in
wheelchairs. Spacious entrance areas
with 1,300 mm-wide doorways and
optionally wider gangways also permit
quick and safe boarding and exiting. This
is another area where the new Desiro ML
proves its exibility, for the number of
entrances to the car is variable. One or
two entrance areas can be congured for
the oor heights 600 and 800 mm, while
two or three entrances can be provided in
the end car and two to four in the inter-
mediate car for a oor height of 1000 mm.
The Desiro ML also offers a variable,
low-oor seating arrangement as well
as spacious entrance and gangway areas,
an attractive, innovative design and
maximum riding comfort.
With its combination of state-of-the-art
technologies and service-proven equip-
ment and compliance with the require-
ments of current standards governing
crashworthiness and environmental
compatibility, the Desiro ML is setting
new standards in modern rail service.
Low life cycle costs
Attractive price-performance ratio
Low energy consumption and low
maintenance costs
Optimum train conguration for the
different trafc applications
High residual value due to easy
adaptation of the vehicle features
(e.g. interior furnishings, number
of doors, oor heights), enabling
these features to be customized
even after several years of operation
The Desiro ML train concept
The Desiro ML is designed basically as a
2-car unit that can be extended by adding
intermediate cars, i.e. the operator can
change its conguration in the depot by
inserting or removing intermediate cars
as required. This allows him to adjust the
passenger capacity to specic operating
requirements and to form trains with as
many as four cars.
The oor height can be set at 600 mm,
800 mm or 1,000 mm. A retrot option
for raising the oor from 600 to 800 mm
is also possible. The installation of large
components on the roof makes more
useable space available in the interior.
Train length and number of seats
for different train configurations
Configuration 2-car 3-car 4-car
Train length 48.4 m 70.9 m 93.3 m
Number of seats 120 184 184 284 248 384
Interior design
The passenger should feel comfortable,
which is why the Desiro ML is designed
to meet the expectations for attractive
mass transit. Different variants of interior
furnishings offer a modern, trendsetting
design and exible options for adapting
seat spacing and seating arrangements.
Multifunctional, multipurpose areas offer
sufcient space for a modern, wheelchair-
accessible toilet and for the storage of
oversize baggage and bicycles.
The passenger compartments are equipped
with thermal insulation glazing. Combined
with the attractive design, the construction
of the trains interior creates a spacious
ambience, coupled with comfort and safety.
This is ensured, for example, by pleasant,
extensive lighting and appealing, timeless
color schemes.
The powerful and reliable air-conditioning
system ensures a comfortable environment
and responsive temperature control, with
the cold air gently entering the passenger
compartment through an integrated
perforated ceiling.
The passengers are informed by means
of display and announcements via an
advanced visual and acoustic passenger
information system, which is available
in many predened variants that can be
adapted to specic requirements of the
operator.
Safe operations are also ensured by an
optimally designed work area for the
train driver. For this reason, the drivers
cabs are designed for easy operation
based to the latest in ergonomic design.
This includes a comfortable, adjustable
drivers seat as well as the support through
a user-friendly, on-board diagnostics
system.

Drive system
The Desiro ML has a powerful drive system
with up to 2,600 kW of tractive power
for the EMU versions. With up to eight
powered axles, this traction can already
be transmitted with a low coefcient of
adhesion.
A diesel-electric propulsion system can
also be installed to create a DMU. It delivers
1,000 kW of tractive power with four
powered axles.
Bogies
The bogies of the Desiro ML are derived
from the service-proven SF 6000 family.
They are equipped with secondary air
suspension for increased passenger
comfort.
Vehicle control equipment
The reliable Sibas 32 train control system
communicates via the redundant Train
Communication Network (TCN) and the
Multifunction Vehicle Bus (MVB) with
the distributed peripheral units (including
brake control units, door controls). In
multiple running mode, the communication
between the individual sections of the
train occurs via the Wire Train Bus (WTB).
Additional train lines (e.g. for door control)
further increase the safety of the system.
Key vehicle features:
2- to 4-car multiple unit with an
adjustable number of intermediate cars
Train conguration can be modied by
the operator in the depot (by adding /
removing intermediate cars)
Floor heights of 600 mm, 800 mm or
1,000 mm; optional retrot of oor
height from 600 to 800 mm possible
Maximum speed 160 km/h
