From 2030: 40 Railjets and 24 Nightjets of the new generation in the OBB fleet
Capacity in the long -term long -term traffic is further increased
Order from Siemens Mobility is adapted to changed demand
(Vienna, July 10, 2025) - The OBB will buy more rail jets from the new generation by 2030 than originally planned. The background is the strong passenger growth in recent years. In 2023 and also in 2024, a passenger record was reached. Most recently, 511 million people were traveling with the OBB in the year.
In the next few years we will see strong growth in international daily outer traffic on the connections to our neighboring countries. That is why we will further expand the capacity at our Railjet fleet, explains OBB CEO Andreas Mattha.
By 2030, OBB will now have 40 rail jets of the new generation (including 12 sets in 9-part & 28 sets in a 7-part configuration) in the fleet.
The Nightjet fleet is also expanded, albeit not as strong. Of the originally intended 33 sets, 24 trains now come by mid -2026. The corresponding contract with Siemens Mobility has now been adjusted together.
This means that OBB can continue to secure the role of European market leader in the night train area. Together with the partner railways, the quality of the attractive European night train network is further improved. With the Nightjet fleet, which will consist of 24 night jets from the new generation and the existing Nightjet wagons, OBB can offer more sleep and berths than before.
7-part railjets of the new generation
Comfort, car equipment and design with the new 7-part railjets basically remains the same. By adapting the train lengths, they can drive in double traction on routes within Austria and Germany. All sets should be delivered by 2030.
