With a thoughtful investment of EUR 230 million, these aren't your average rescue trains. The fleet of 18 Servicejets is designed to be at the heart of rescue and firefighting operations on the ÖBB network. What's really impressive is that these trains can zip through Austria at a remarkable speed of up to 160 km/h and have the capacity to evacuate up to 324 people swiftly.

This not only means a more efficient system but also a reduced fleet, cutting down on training and maintenance overheads.
