For use in regional traffic, DB AG procured numerous new vehicles that were primarily designed as railcars at the end of the 1990s. Consequently, 249 units of a four-part electric railcar which was given the BR 425 designation were also procured from the Siemens/Adtranz/Bombardier/DWA consortium between 1999 and 2008. An identical two-part version for less-frequented routes was also created and given the BR 426 designation. The car bodies are manufactured from aluminium extruded profiles and the windows are bonded flush. The car bodies support each other via Jacobs bogies and the end bogies are respectively driven by two threephase engines. The Car is fully accessible from the inside and has room for 206 seated and 228 standing passengers. The Car also boasts 30 folding seats with a further 24 normal seats in the first class cabin. The 425 was and continues to be utilised by DB Regio NRW, Baden-W�rttemberg, S�dwest, Bayern, S�dost, Nord, Schleswig-Holstein and Berlin, no private railway companies procured these railcars.
