The five-car BM74 trains, here on a test run on SBB line, will have three powered cars instead of the two provided on four-car FLIRTs and therefore has a higher 4500 kW power output. The design will be adapted for the harsh winter conditions. The wider Norwegian loading gauge will permit a body width of 3 200 mm, with the 'long local' units having 3+2 seating giving a total of 296 seats. The regional trains will have 231 seats in 2+2 arrangement, including 42 in first class. Top speed will be 160 kph, with provision for 200 kph with minimal modifications. |
