"Nightjet" design
Finely detailed design with four pantographs
Licensed ÖBB model / As the first Vectron locomotive of the ÖBB, the 1293 200 was covered with the Nightjet design in May 2021. In this way, it advertises the new Nightjet trains, which are to be in service from the end of 2022. The locomotive is equipped with the country package DE-AT-PL-NL-BE-CZ-SK-HU-RO-BG-HR-RS.
Since the end of 2016, ÖBB has been one of the few large transport companies to operate a dense and attractive night train service with popular destinations such as Brussels, Hamburg, Venice and Warsaw. ÖBB has ordered a total of 13 seven-car train sets from Siemens Mobility to further expand this service in Europe and offer even more comfort for sustainable travel. In a first step, they will be used on the connections from Austria and Germany to Italy."
