OBB Railjet Train Key Features
Railjet train is the main pride of the Austrian and Czech Railways. Presented during the transition to the 2008-2009 year schedule, it travels at speeds of up to 230 km/h (~ 143 mph). Being a prominent representative of the modern generation of Siemens electric trains, it has a better level of energy reduction cost compared to previous generations.
| Railjet had its first test runs in 2008 with the only aim to provide the best level of service and comfort and save time for its users. Nowadays, Railjet trains rank among the fastest trains on the planet, making them the best ones in terms of speed. For example, the 750km-long route from Vienna to Zurich with stops in Innsbruck, Salzburg, and Linz is covered in about 8 hours. Just imagine the speed it travels at! Compared to other railway carriers, the Railjet Austria branch does not rely on fully electrical units but on push-pull Siemens locomotives. This simply means that any locomotive can be replaced fast and quickly in case of train failure or planned maintenance. Furthermore, if demand for more seats on specific routes is higher than usual, additional carriages can be added to the existing train with no problems. |
100% of OBB Austria Railjet Trains are powered by the electricity produced using renewable energy. You can make a change too!
