ELECTRIC HIGH-SPEED MULTIPLE UNIT

SMILE
Schweizerische Bundesbahnen (SBB), Switzerland

In October 2014, SBB ordered 29 eleven-part EC250 electric multi-system multiple units from Stadler. The multiple units, which
SBB has named «Giruno», will travel through the Gotthard Base Tunnel as of 2019, connecting Zurich with Milan, and later Frankfurt
with Milan, in record time. The trains have TSI certification and are approved for use in the railway networks of Switzerland, Ger-
many, Italy and Austria. They are used both for conventional lines and on high-speed routes at up to 250 km/h. The platform level
entry for platforms with heights of 55 and 76 cm, the pressure-tight, air-conditioned passenger compartments and driver’s cabs
and the multifunctional and bicycle compartments in the passenger area set new standards for rail travel with regard to comfort.
The screens of the digital information system are visible to all passengers. The train has been specifically designed to meet the
needs of people with restricted mobility in accordance with the Swiss law on equal rights for persons of restricted mobility.
