The reduced axle ever, an issue of sustainability. The energy balance of the load expands the range of applications, for instance on lines Desiro ML meets the requirements of today and into the where the axle load determines the amount of track fees future. With its diesel-electric drive concept, combined with or routes that are limited in terms of infrastructure. Thanks motor management, it uses energy more efficiently and to the single-car concept, fewer components result in lower reduces CO2 emissions – compared to conventional diesel maintenance and repair costs. The short wheelbase of the multiple units. Its excellent energy balance can be improved bogie ensures excellent wear and tear behavior. The diesel- even further with an energy storage system, which converts electric design reduces operating costs by maximizing the braking energy into electricity, temporarily stores it, and energy yield. You can easily adapt the vehicle equipment to makes it available as drive energy or for feeding auxiliary new requirements, thereby ensuring a high residual value loads. You save up to 35 percent in fuel while also reducing even after years of operation. And because even the most your maintenance costs, because the mechanical brake is advanced vehicles are only as good as their overall concept, used far less often. we also offer you customized comprehensive support – from technical support to long-term maintenance and repair to cost-efficient financing models. 5
- 6. Greater mobility on the rails. Riding the rails while also being truly flexible: The Desiro ML makes it possible – reliably. There’s a great deal of potential within the optimized single-car design of the tried and tested Desiro ML platform – for you, for your passengers, and for the environment. Take advantage of all the benefits – more capacity, more flexibility, and more comfort, greater en- ergy efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and ultimately security for the future. Thanks to the optimal combination of state-of-the-art technology and proven technology, the Desiro ML provides more with less. You can rely on that today and in the future. Adapting to passenger load Train configurations The Desiro ML is a match for any number of passengers. Customized for its mobile 2-part Seating capacity environment, it can be adapted quickly Train length and easily to the actual passenger load. That’s because the train is designed as a single-car train with a variable number of center cars. This means you can easily 3-part modify the train configuration. You can add and remove center cars as needed at the depot. Cars, or bogies, can be exchanged quickly. Train formations with up to four vehicles can be created. And 4-part by optimal use of the entire train length for seats, you benefit from a higher pas- senger capacity. 50 m 100 m Optimal use of space: Up to 93 percent of the train length is available to the passengers. 6

Attractiveness on the rails must be viewed holistically – from passenger safety to being responsible environmentally. With the Desiro ML, you’ll be far ahead in every respect when it comes to sustainability. Thanks to innovative technologies and compliance with the latest standards, you’ll have no trouble fulfilling legal standards on safety and environmental protection – today and in the future. 10
- 11. Economical and clean The diesel-electric Desiro ML’s high energy efficiency and lower CO2 emissions are impressive in times of rising energy prices and stricter environmental requirements. Its drive chain achieves efficiency of up to 90 percent or more. As a result, the Desiro ML is far ahead of the diesel competition with their efficiencies of 60 percent to 70 percent. Depending on the route and driving behavior, you can save up to 25 percent in energy and reduce CO2 emissions by 10 to 20 percent, because the diesel generator set always works at the optimum op- erating point. Optionally, the Desiro ML can also be equipped with water cooling for recovering energy. And the Desiro ML’s Energy storage system energy balance can be improved even further: Equipped with a mobile energy storage system the Desiro ML temporarily Protected and safe stores braking energy and makes it available as an acceleration The Desiro ML has been designed in accordance with the latest booster. As a result, you consume up to 35 percent less fuel. standards on ergonomics and safety so that your passengers Because it is so economical and clean, the single-car train arrive at their destination relaxed and safe. It provides optimal already fulfills the EU emission standard Stage IIIb – without crashworthiness in accordance with EN 15227 and TSI Crash, any conversion or expansion.

The modular train concept of the Desiro ML platform – comprising state-of-the-art technologies, tried and tested technology, complete compliance with standards, and lots of freedom for individuality – sets new benchmarks in modern rail trans- port. These benchmarks also provide for maximum variability and attractiveness in the interior. Discover a unique spatial experience on the rails and the possibilities created by low-floor seating arrangement, generously apportioned doorways and gangways and innovative design. Maximum variability: The interior is designed as a system solution. Different design variants allow the train to be adapted to indi- vidual needs. First class Universal toilet 12

- 15. Comfortable and sophisticated: the system solutions Comfort is systematic in the Desiro ML: The technology is not only innovative, but also verifiably reliable; the interior design is not only attractive, but also functional. For instance, all large components and the diesel generator set are located on the roof. The exhaust cabinets and the inspection hatch are no lon- ger necessary in the vehicle floor. The entire train is reserved for passengers, especially for those with limited mobility. It has a low-floor design between the bogies. The train’s design also maximizes peace and quiet: Passengers do not sit above the drive components. Acoustic noise on the platform escape up. The train is noticeably quieter, thanks to the optimum acoustics. With its diesel-electric drive, the Desiro ML passen- gers don’t experience jolts, and the air suspension ensures an all-round sophisticated ride. Multifunctional and climate-controlled: the interior Ride in the “feel good” class: The Desiro ML’s interior is impres- sive, with its spacious ambiance, future-oriented design, and room for freedom in the layout. The atmosphere is friendly and open, thanks to extensive lighting and timeless color schemes. Seat spacing and layout can be varied flexibly, according to indi- vidual requirements. Large multipurpose zones offer sufficient space for wheelchairs, a modern, universal toilet, bulky bag- gage, and bicycles. All passenger areas include heat-insulated panorama windows. The powerful, reliable air-conditioning system creates a pleasant climate. The temperature can be adjusted quickly. Cold air enters the passenger area gently via integrated perforated ceiling panels. The large multipurpose zone also offers sufficient room for bicycles Interior design 15

- 17. Ergonomic and comfortable: the seats The seats are simply better in the Desiro ML: The seat design follows not only practical aspects, but is also based on findings in anthropometry. The ergonomic shape of the seats and backrests provides optimal comfort. The seats’ special design maximizes legroom. And the driver’s seat is also ergonomic. For comfort during work, drivers can of course adjust the seat to their own sitting habits. Modular and barrier-free: the toilets The toilet’s location in the Desiro ML makes it fully accessible. It is located in the low-floor area and can be accessed without crossing any barriers. The size and layout are optimized toward the requirements of passengers with reduced mobility. In addition, the uni- versal toilet, with its lengthwise sliding door, ensures optimal entry, even with a wheelchair. Bottlenecks in passages are avoided. Practical and robust: the luggage racks Everything in its place: The passenger area is equipped with practical luggage racks to ensure adequate free space in the Desiro ML even when large numbers of passengers are traveling with luggage. In accordance with modern interior design, the robust racks consist of powder-coated aluminum extruded profiles with shelves made of safety glass. In this way, luggage and objects can be stowed and remain highly visible. Coat hooks and electrical outlets also add to the passengers’ comfort. Interior design 17
