1st class passenger coach type EW IV of the Swiss Federal Railways.

■ Not suitable for push-pull trains
■ Bogies without yaw dampers
■ Delicately designed window frames

The standard coaches of type EW IV were delivered to the SBB from 1981 onwards and, with over 500 units, form one of the largest Swiss wagon fleets. The coach body is of welded lightweight steel design. The coaches are very popular with passengers because of their spacious interiors with face-to-face seating and their quiet running characteristics even at high speeds. Thanks to diverse modernisations, the EW-IV coaches are still in daily use today.
