The prototype: ICE 3neo class 408

The 408 series, the modern ICE 3neo, is based on the Velaro platform from Siemens and was specially developed for high-speed traffic. The first units have been in service since December 2022 and a total of 90 multiple units are to be delivered by 2028. With a top speed of 300 km/h, the trains will make a significant contribution to the German rail timetable and efficiently connect cities on both domestic and international long-distance services.

The 408 series is a further development of the previous Velaro D series 407 and features numerous technical and visual improvements, such as optimized roof areas and modernized safety systems. These trains are gradually replacing the 406 series and are now an indispensable part of DB's long-distance services.
