In 1994, Deutsche Bahn AG ordered multiple units with tilting technology from a consortium consisting of Bombardier, Deutscher Waggonbau, DUEWAG, Fiat and Siemens in order to be able to connect winding routes to the ICE network. The individual cars and components were manufactured in different factories. Due to the success of the concept, the order was increased again; the success of the multiple unit known as ICE-T has made it an important part of the long-distance transport fleet. It was important for the then young DB AG Group to usher in a new era of long-distance transport with the new ICE-T and ICE 3 multiple units. The new and innovative design should immediately make it clear to the passenger that this is a completely new generation of vehicles; the company had therefore imposed few requirements on the designers at the time. It is therefore not surprising that the 411 and 415 series multiple units are still contemporary vehicles that have successfully undergone several redesigns. With a top speed of 230 km/h, they still meet the demands of the ICE network today and enjoy a high level of reliability.
