Beginning in 2022, Deutsche Bahn (DB) will expand its mainline fleet with 30 new high-speed trains. Deutsche Bahn has awarded the billion-euro order to Siemens Mobility. The most important requirement for the ICE order was to get the new trains on the rails very quickly. In addition to the 30 new ICE trains just ordered, there is an option for an additional 60 trains. The new ICE trains will be manufactured at Siemens locations in North RhineWestphalia, Bavaria and Austria.
