Originaltext in: EN - Original anzeigen On 22 June 2007, the MOB (Montreux Oberland Bernois) announced that it had placed orders with Raility of Biel for eight new air-conditioned coaches. These coaches are equipped with large panoramic windows, low-floor access, and seating. The design includes standard-level seating at the vestibule ends, while the central section offers low-floor seating, making it easier for passengers with restricted mobility to access. Additionally, the coaches are fitted with handicapped-accessible toilets to ensure inclusivity.

The new coaches feature a state-of-the-art bogie called "Centro 1000," incorporating air suspension technology, which has been manufactured by Alstom. The first coach, numbered Bs230, was delivered from the Chernex works and entered service in mid-May 2010. The coaches are designed in a sleek white livery with golden lettering, displaying the new "Golden Pass" symbol and "Transgoldenpass" name. The "bls" blue lettering is also prominently featured.

The second coach is expected to be ready for service in June 2010. To form three-car EMUs, four of the new coaches will be positioned between the two halves of ABDe 8/8 4001–4004.

In mid-December 2010, the first of these new coaches, numbered 231 and 232, officially entered full revenue-earning service. They became a regular part of the popular "Golden Pass Panorama" trains, specifically serving routes 3118, 2119, 2128, and 2131. / Quellen: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreux_Oberland_Bernois_Railway
