19WE
The 19WE electric multiple unit is the first NEWAG-manufactured electric passenger train. The 19WE electric multiple unit is an undivided, four-section vehicle equipped with a full interior monitoring system, air conditioning and modern passenger information system and ticket dispensers among others. The interior was adapted to transport passengers in wheelchairs. It has a wheelchair lift, wide aisles and space dedicated for wheelchairs/bicycles. The vehicle uses modern bogies designed and built especially for this type of vehicle. The 70RSNa and 70RST bogies have a two-stage springing which damps vibration effectively, thus providing high comfort of travelling.
Depending on the clients’ needs, the 19WE is produced in the four or six-section version (20WE). Due to various possibilities of the passenger compartment layout, this train can be used both in suburban and long-distance service. For long-distance service, toilets with hermetically sealed retention tanks, adapted for the disabled are provided.
