1991
This unit is converted from Bm 51 85 21-70
005-5 standard passenger coach in 1991.
In conjunction with SUVA, an organisation for the disabled, the unit is rebuilt to carry parties of people in wheelchairs. Internally it now has 29 seats plus 16 wheelchair places with folding tables. The toilets are fully accessible by wheelchair, and additional wide sliding doors are fitted at one end giving access to an integral hydraulic lift for loading the wheelchairs. As an experiment, solar panels are fitted in the roof to supplement the normal train power supply.
Livery is EW IV style, but with a wide blue and white diagonal band across the sliding doors carrying the logo and initials of SUVA.
