Product Features and Details
In 1969 the Deutsche Reichsbahn received the last delivery of the successful light railcars. As the previous supplier, VEB Waggonbau Bautzen, was no longer available as a manufacturer, the 73 railcars, for which 73 control cars were also produced, were supplied by VEB Waggonbau Görlitz. Compared with previous series, several improvements and changes were made, which increased the service weight of the vehicles by four tonnes. In addition to railway depots which already had experience of the use of LVTs, several divisions were also considered for which the use of LVTs was completely new.
