Features / notes

The Flirt-trainsets consist of two carriages supported on Jacobs bogies at the body transitions. Due to the use of a Jacobs bogie, the body transition is short and wide, ensuring a high degree of transparency. As a result, these trainsets have wide body transitions and a low floor, as is also common in metro trains and trams. The unobstructed view through the entire train set combined with the installed cameras is intended to provide a sense of safety. At 780 mm, the floor is exactly level with most platforms.
