With the new IR100 multiple units, Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) are
setting another milestone in modern long-distance rail travel. The
four-car double-decker trains form part of the fleet originally
developed by Bombardier Transportation and now maintained by
Alstom. Measuring around 100 metres in length and with a top speed
of 200 km/h, they combine high operational efficiency with the
SBB’s characteristic standards of comfort, punctuality and
reliability. The designation IR100 refers to the approximately

used InterRegio services.
