In total, over 1500 cars with a capacity of around 105,000 seats have been delivered, making it the largest procurement program in DB’s history.

Specifically, DB’s ICE 4 fleet now consists of 37 7-car trains, 50 12-car trains, and 50 13-car ICE XXL trains.

Each XXL version offers nearly 1000 seats, five times more than an average medium-haul aircraft.

High-capacity trains operate on lines with the highest demand, such as from Hamburg through North Rhine-Westphalia and on the Cologne-Rhine/Main high-speed line to southern Germany.

Currently, DB boasts the largest and most modern ICE fleet in history.
