Prototype: Based on the experiences before the war, the program for the production of passenger cars was developed at the end of the 1940s by ÖBB. With as few, uniquely designed parts as possible, the Austrian Railroads replaced as many of the old wooden coaches in their network with the new type Bi coaches. The type Bi coach was made with steel and prefabricated body frames. Basically, it was decided to build all two-axle and three-axle vehicles uniformly as two-axle trucks. . In the design of the interior, it was decided for a metropolitan area with the seat arrangement as 2 + 2. The ÖBB conversion program also included two- and three-axle Austrian designs and vehicles of German Länderbahnbauarten, which had remained at the end of the war in Austria.
