DSB's EuroCity trains get their cab cars On 17 September, the Danish railway company DSB took delivery of the first train from Talgo equipped with a cab car. This marks a new milestone in the project, coming less than a year after the first DSB Talgo 230 trains, which operate under the EuroCity brand, began running on the Copenhagen–Hamburg international route in November 2025. Until now, these trains ran with two end cars (one per side, thus their name), with each serving as the interface with a locomotive. The cab cars will now enable the trains to operate with a single locomotive at one end, in push-pull configuration. Following this approval, the reorganization process began on 21 September, involving swapping the end cars between trainsets. During this phase, trains in Denmark equipped with two end cars swapped one of them with those with two cab cars delivered from our factories in Spain, to achieve the final required configuration for the fleet: cab car + coaches + end car. About the contract(s) The Talgo 230s for DSB form a fleet of 16 trains that has been partially delivered and is partially in production, corresponding to several successive contracts. Back in in February 2020 and after an open tendering process, DSB awarded Talgo with a framework contract worth €500 million which included a first firm order of €134 million for the supply of 8 complete trains of the Talgo 230 technological platform. In April 2021 and considering the new demand for international rail travel, DSB decided to increase the fleet size with a second order for additional coaches which raised the passenger capacity of the 8 initial trains by a full 10%, to 492 seats each. Then in April 2023 the railway company placed a third order, for 8 additional trains and worth €184 million.
