RegioShuttle RS1, series 3, regional rail services
The vehicles of the third series have the same basic vehicle design as the series 1 RegioShuttle. This series has also retained the basic concept of possibly using several vehicles in one train. Both the driver cab and passenger compartments of the vehicles are air-conditioned. In addition, these RegioShuttles are equipped with larger universal toilets. The layout is optimized for regional transport. The vehicles have a higher tare weight, allow greater loads and are therefore fitted with a more powerful braking system than the vehicles of the first series.
The RS1 have a passenger information system consisting of displays inside the passenger compartment, on the outside and at the front, as well as automatic announcements. Vending machines can also be installed in the multi-purpose areas inside the vehicles. The number of fixed seats can be varied by installing seats in the multi-purpose areas and by changing the number of flip-up seats accordingly. With their various features, these diesel multiple units are also proving to be suitable for the current and planned field of application in regional transport.
