ÖBB has placed a major order of 20 additional next generation, seven-car night trains from Siemens Mobility, securing its position as market leader in Europe’s night train sector.
The trains are based on the Viaggio Next Level platform and model, with a total of 33 new generation ÖBB Nightjets forecasted to be in service by 2025. The modern Nightjets will attract passengers travelling on overnight connections between various European cities, by offering higher capacity, greater comfort and privacy.
“Calling up 20 additional Nightjets is an important step in positioning ÖBB as the market leader in Europe’s night train business,” said Andrea Matthä, CEO of ÖBB.
