The KISS double-decker multiple unit built for ÖBB Personenverkehr AG will be on display at InnoTrans.

79 of these vehicles have been ordered so far as part of a framework contract for 186 multiple units. It comes in four versions: four- and six-car units for local transport, six-car units for long-distance transport and five-car units for the CAT airport train. In the future, they will form the modern, passenger friendly and environmentally friendly extension of the Cityjet and Railjet fleet used by ÖBB for local and long-distance passenger transport.

Many trainspotters are already familiar with the outside of the new Cityjet. At InnoTrans, the doors to the vehicle will now be opened to reveal the interior: travellers can expect to find comfortable seats, automatic air conditioning, power sockets in every row of seats, free Wi-Fi, monitors with real-time information and video surveillance. Low-floor entrances ensure accessibility, while multi-purpose areas next to the entrances/exits provide customisable storage space. Areas with height-adjustable side tables are available for travellers in wheelchairs.

The four-car Cityjets are approximately 105 metres long and can seat 373 passengers, while the six-car sets are approximately 160 metres long and can accommodate up to 593 passengers. The maximum speed of the double-decker multiple units is 160 km/h and the output at the wheel is 4,000 kW (continuous).
