RegioShuttle RS1, series 1, commuter train services

In its basic design, the commuter model of the RegioShuttle RS1 has more space for standing passengers and more flip-up seats in multi-purpose areas. A toilet was not included in the basic model of the vehicle to allow for a higher number of passengers for commuter services. The double motorization of each vehicle, which enables acceleration of 1.2 m/s² on average in the speed range of 0 to 50 km/h, is proving to be an advantage for the use of the RegioShuttle RS1 in commuter transport with respect to optimizing schedules. The vehicles are equipped with central buffer couplings. The RS1 for commuter transport can run in multiple heading and can also be used for feeder trains. In addition to a passenger information system, forced air ventilation and an air-conditioning unit, vending machines for passengers can also be installed in the multi-purpose areas inside the compartment.

It is possible to retrofit an accessible universal toilet in this vehicle, for use in regional transport, for example. HEROS can carry out the retrofitting, including engineering, installation and clarification of any approval issues with the authorities.
