Knowing that the troubled fleet will be replaced by 2024 alongside with the IC3 unit so I was wondering where the IC4 can be displaced to after that
DANISH State Railways (DSB) announced on October 24 that four manufacturers have prequalified to supply at least 100 trains to replace the operators’ diesel fleet.
The 25kV ac 50Hz trains will replace DSB’s ageing IC3 DMUs and IR4 EMUs, as well as the ill-fated fleet of AnsaldoBreda IC4 DMUs.
DSB ordered 82 four-car IC4 and 23 IC2 two-car sets from the Italian manufacturer in 2000 and the first trains were due to enter service in 2003, but the trains were beset by technical problems and introduction was heavily delayed....
