Siemens has offered the Desiro Verve. It looked quite nice. However, No TOCs bought it. I wondered what TOC can be the potential user since electric trains/battery trains/hydrogen trains will replace diesel trains in stages before 2050

Tailored to intercity needs
The Desiro Verve cars are 23 metres long
– three metres longer than the Desiro City –
and equipped with an enhanced traction
system including bogies to enable a top speed
up to 125 mph, featuring proven MK3 and
PG2 dimensions. The flexible single-car
concept of the Desiro Verve platform makes
it possible to configure from 4 to 10 cars for a
maximum train length of 230 metres.

Adjustable performance
The single-car concept means: All motor
cars are identical and consist of a traction
container with an integrated auxiliary
converter, drive unit, line filter, and braking
resistor. The result is a train that you can
tailor precisely to your specific needs: Motor
and trailer cars can be combined in a variety
of ways. We also offer Desiro Verve optionally
as a hybrid vehicle. This means that you can
replace diesel-driven units on partly electrified
lines and standardise your fleet
