At the beginning of the 1990s, DB began developing control cab coaches for long-distance transit. The initial 75 control cab coaches were built by converting passenger coaches from the Halberstadt production site.
After delivery of the first two series, PFA Weiden began production of twelve pressurized IC control cab coaches. These coaches are designated Bpmbdzf 297.3 to distinguish them from the “conventional” type. After the conversion within the scope of the “IC mod overhaul”, the control cab coach vehicle number was retained, but its designation became Bpmmbdzf 286.3. The additional “m” in the type designation stands for modernization. This version of all these coaches is still in IC/EC service.
