Based on: The Deutsche Bahn AG (German Railways) uses the ICE 2 in the form of half-trains, which consist of one power car, six intermediate coaches as well as a control-cab trailer car (Class 402, 805 to 808). As necessary, two half-trains can be coupled together to make up a full train set. As a rule, the full trains run trailer car to trailer car, so that with a power car on each end of the train, the speed of 250 km/h can be reached. The power car Class 402 differs from its predecessors of the Class 401, above all by its altered front, which can be opened up for coupling. The centre coaches, now no longer to be seen with compartments, as well as the cab trailer car, have been fitted with newly developed bogies.
