Mireo Smart at a glance

Always the right train

Using approved and ready-to-operate trains of the latest generation, we guarantee a high level of reliability for on-time and economical operation. You can rent the Mireo Smart as an 2- or 3-car trainset for regional transport with the ability to couple multiple trainsets. Trains are available with electric, battery or hydrogen propulsion systems.

Excellent passenger experience

The optimized train design ensures maximum passenger comfort. The inviting interior offers a large usable area, while wide gangways allow for a clear view throughout the entire vehicle. This not only enhances the quality of the journey, but also increases passengers’ sense of security. At the same time, the Mireo Smart impresses with bike spaces and spaces for strollers. Extra wheelchair spaces and two optional boarding heights for level access enable full accessibility.

Technology that impresses

Equipped with ETCS, PZB and further innovative technical features makes the Mireo Smart 100 % future-proof. Every train meets the latest cybersecurity standards. Passengers enjoy a contemporary travel experience thanks to a continuous WIFI connection as well as charging options for their mobile devices directly at their seats.

General questions

Booking process

  1. How can we lease a Mireo Smart?

    Simply initiate an inquiry using the contact form on our website. We will then get in touch with you shortly to discuss the next steps together. You are also welcome to contact Ben Dobernecker and Christina Zollner directly; we will get back to you promptly to discuss the next steps.

  2. What information do we need to make a booking?

    In the first step, the following information is helpful:

    • Which Mireo Smart is of interest? EMU, BEMU, HEMU
    • On which network is the Mireo Smart intended to operate?
    • What are the infrastructure-related requirements?
    • How many vehicles are to be leased?
    • For what period should the vehicles be leased?
    • Even if not all information is available, you are welcome to submit an inquiry, and we will then gather all further information together.

  3. Can we customize the number of carriages or seats?

    The seating layout / configuration of a Mireo SMART is fixed. However, the number of seats can be varied by coupling multiple trains – up to 4 trains for EMUs and up to 3 trains for BEMUs.

  4. How long does it take to receive an offer?

    Typically, it takes one to two weeks if the vehicles are already available.

  5. When can the contract be signed?

    Immediately upon receipt of the offer. 

    For example: Inquiry in April, contract signed in June, vehicles handed over just 2 weeks later, operations start beginning of August

Availability and schedules

  1. When should a booking be made to ensure availability of trains?

    Our trains can be booked several years in advance. Bookings are confirmed on a first-come, first-served basis.

  2. Are there any restrictions in terms of routes or travel times?

    There may be restrictions due to infrastructure requirements. However, it is best to clarify these topics in a joint discussion.

  3. Is it possible to request special times or routes?

    Absolutely. The rental period and the route or network on which the trains are to be operated are important pieces of information for the request.

  4. What do short-term and medium-term rental mean?

    In the narrower sense, we are talking about 1 to 5 years, but rental periods from 6 months are also possible, and there are also suitable use cases beyond 5 years that we would be happy to review.

Equipment and customization

  1. What kind of equipment does the Mireo Smart offer?

    The Mireo Smart boasts a very high level of equipment, combining the requirements of many public transport authorities and railway undertakings (EVUs). It is even already equipped with ETCS.

  2. Can we have special adjustments made to meet our requirements?

    The Mireo Smart is a standardized product which, through its design and features, offers a high-performance regional vehicle solution. As these vehicles are already manufactured, they are available for rapid commissioning and thus allow for customization only within a very narrow scope.

  3. Are there options for branding or individual design of the train?

    Seat covers and the exterior foiling can be changed.

  4. Standing and seating capacities

    EMU: 214 seats and 200 standing places; 21 bicycle spaces
    BEMU: 122 seats and 153 standing places; 12 bicycle spaces

Pricing and payment

  1. Can we offer insurance?

    Machine hull insurance: We can offer this optionally.
    Railway Undertaking (RU) liability insurance including environmental liability is to be provided by the operator.

  2. How is the pricing for train leasing determined?

    The train lease price depends on many factors, including the lease duration, the short-term nature of the lease, and which service level is agreed upon with the lease.

  3. Are there additional costs for special requests or services?

    In addition to the trains, there are various service levels for the trains, depending on the available infrastructure and experience with the vehicles.

    A dynamic FIS (Fahrgastinformationssystem/Passenger Information System) connection directly to the operator’s local RBL (RBL = Computer-Aided Operational Control System) is possible via a cloud solution, to which the train is permanently connected. Furthermore, there is the option to lease a personalizable passenger Wi-Fi.

  4. What payment methods are accepted?

    Payment is made monthly over the lease period. Special costs, such as adaptations to the train’s foiling, are charged once at the beginning of the lease period.

Train handover

  1. How does the handover of the train to us work?

    Details regarding the handover will be agreed upon in a joint discussion. The train will be handed over at the agreed-upon lease location. “Smart” in this context also means that we aim to make the start of operations with the Smart Train Lease vehicles as simple as possible.

Questions about Mireo Smart
    li>

    In which variants is the Mireo Smart available?

    Electric, Battery-Electric, and Hydrogen-Electric

  1. How fast does the battery charge?

    Rapid charging of the battery is possible in approximately 10 minutes under optimal conditions. Additionally, the battery can be charged during operation under catenary.

  2. What is the range of a battery train?

    The Mireo Smart Plus B has a range of 80 to 120 km, depending on the driving profile and topography.

  3. What is the energy consumption of the vehicles?

    Energy consumption largely depends on the local driving profile, geographical conditions, and the distance between stops. The Mireo Smart is a very lightweight vehicle and possesses optimal characteristics for efficient energy consumption.

  4. To what extent can the train be customized?

    The train is a fully equipped product. Customizations are only possible in the areas of exterior foiling and seat covers.

  5. Battery vs. Hydrogen Propulsion: When is which propulsion variant recommended?

    We recommend the battery solution for shorter distances and for vehicles that partly cover routes under overhead lines, allowing these to be used for battery charging.

    We see hydrogen technology as superior where the connection of more distant locations without overhead lines is planned, and especially for use in mountainous terrain.

    The Mireo Smart BEMU is suitable for ranges of 80 to 120 km, while the Mireo Smart HEMU covers distances of 600 to 1000 km.

    Due to the different application areas, we offer the Mireo Smart with both alternative propulsion variants in our portfolio.
