Die elektrischen Nahverkehrstriebzüge der Deutschen Bahn

Deutsche Bahn's electric commuter trains may not break records or offer the luxury of ICE trains, but they play an undeniably central role in German rail transport. As the main players, they transport by far the most passengers and are thus essential to the viability of German cities.
This book is dedicated to recognizing these trains by tracing their development from history and describing their modern technology in detail.

The variety of trains used by DB is covered in detail, including the 422-426 series, the FLIRT from Stadler, the Alstom train CORADIA Continental and the new TALENT 2 from Bombardier. In addition, comparable trains from private railway companies and from neighboring countries are briefly presented.

The book presents all trains in new, high-quality illustrations and offers insights into otherwise hidden details through drawings. This work was created in close cooperation between the author Dr. Karl Gerhard Baur and the German rail vehicle industry.
