In 1994, Deutsche Bahn AG ordered multiple units with tilting technology from a consortium made up of Bombardier, Deutscher Waggonbau, DUEWAG, Fiat and Siemens in order to be able to connect curvy routes to the ICE network. The individual cars and components were produced in different plants. Due to the success of the concept, the order was increased once again, and the success of the ICE-T multiple unit has made it an important part of the long-distance fleets. It was important to the then-young DB AG Group that the new ICE-T and ICE 3 multiple units would herald a new era in long-distance transportation. The idea was that passengers would immediately notice that this was a completely new generation of vehicles thanks to the new and innovative design, which is why the Group did not impose many specifications on the designers at the time. That is why it is not surprising that class 411 and 415 multiple units are still modern vehicles that have already undergone several successful redesigns. With a maximum speed of 230 km/h, they still meet the current requirements of the ICE network and enjoy a high level of reliability.
