Siemens Mobility has received an order for the delivery of 75 Mireo trains for the "Mitteldeutsches S-Bahn Netz 2025+" (MDSB 2025+) project, worth around €500 million.
The new trains offer 100 seats in the two-car version, 150 seats in the three-car configuration and 200 seats in the four-car version. Each train also features spacious multi-purpose areas and a separate 1st class section with leather seats.
