Maybe the speed will be increased in Hungary as well when the track system is adapted.

That is the most modern section in the country. It wont be redone in the next decades.

stefanguti · January 14th, 2009, 11:19 PM

So why only 160?

Money. The track itself maybe good for it,but the security systems are not,most of our trains dont have ETCS. I know the track can endure it,the new 3rd generation IC's were tested on them at 180. But back to Austria. When will the service be extended to München?

rheintram · January 14th, 2009, 11:26 PM

It already goes to Munich! The trains travel from Budapest to Munich. From december 2009 they will also reach Zurich and Bregenz.

stefanguti · January 15th, 2009, 12:23 AM

as if it is a locomotive more than whole EMU train set unlike all other High Speed Trains. Am I wrong?

It is "just" a modified Taurus. Its technical parameters are very interesting. The hungarian driver said it can stop in 600m from 160km/h!(I dont know if he only talked about the locomotive,or the entire consist). And it can accelarate to 250 in 82s!

stefanguti · January 15th, 2009, 01:54 PM

Great pictures

250 km/h in 82 s > good performance!

Since December.

(HUN)RoGeR · January 15th, 2009, 09:10 PM

ÖBB sold 19 locomotives and 50 freight cars to MÁV Cargo.

10 Taurus (1x16)
6 Hercules (2016)
3 Hector (2070)

Kuvvaci · January 15th, 2009, 09:23 PM

are Taurus locos made by Siemens?

rheintram · January 15th, 2009, 10:17 PM

Well partly, the engineering, most parts and sales are done by Siemens. The assembling happens in Linz, at an ÖBB subsidiary (Technische Services). the plant itself is called "Taurus Center Linz" http://www.ts.oebb.at/de/Produkte_un...ling/index.jsp
