Siemens Vectrain is a family of locomotive-hauled push-pull trains built by Siemens Mobility. The Vectrain consists of a Vectron locomotive and Viaggio Comfort coaches or other coaches certified by Siemens. The last coach can be a control car, which has a cabin identical to Vectron locomotives.[1] The trains are mostly used for InterCity and EuroCity services.
Siemens developed its Siemens Vectrain based on the Railjet trains. České dráhy were the first to order Vectrain trains. The trains are in operation in the Czech Republic and will be operated in Austria, Denmark, Germany, Hungary and Slovakia.[2]
