TheSiemens Vectouro is a modular single-level non-traction multiple unit (NMU) built bySiemens Mobility starting 2023.
It is designed to be highly modular and configurable, including the number of coaches per set and floor height.[1]
On April 12, 2021, theSiemens Mobility –Škoda Transportation consortium won the competition for the framework contract for the supply of 180 new express wagons forČeské dráhy. 20 sets consist of 9Siemens Viaggio Comfort wagons.[2]
In July,Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) announced Siemens Mobility as the bid winner for a contract of 21 day-and-night long-distance train sets for round 375 million Euros.[3]
On 10 December 2023, the last night of the 2023 timetable, a Viaggio Next Level set started its operation on the ÖBB'sNightjet network as NJ 40420/40491 Innsbruck - Hamburg and NJ 490/491 Vienna - Hamburg services. They are hauled by ÖBBTaurus locomotives instead ofSiemens Vectrons which they are originally designed for, that because the Vectrons that were then delivered to ÖBB (Class 1293) are freight variants and were not yet certified for passenger services and had a maximum speed of only 160km/h.[4]
In March 2024, the first authorised 9-car set started running domestically in Austria as part of the testing procedures before entering service.[5]
On 5 April 2024, the first ÖBBRailjet NG was run between Munich Central Station and Verona Porta Nuova as a special journey to present the new train to the officials and media.[5]
On 8 April 2024, the Railjet NG entered regular service between Germany and Italy as RJ 87 from Munich central station to Bologna central station.[5]

The ComfortJet is ahigh-speedpush-pull train which is being built bySiemens Mobility andŠkoda Transportation for the Czech train operatorČeské dráhy and is planned to start operations from summer 2024.[12] Based on theRailjet, Siemens developed itsVectrain train family. It will operate at speeds of up to 230 km/h and will replace old carriages on internationalEuroCity services between theCzech Republic,Germany,Denmark,Austria,Slovakia andHungary and on domesticInterCity services in theCzech Republic.[13] It is very similar to theinterjet trains based on the sameViaggio Comfort carriages used for shorter routes, which do not feature the Afmpz control car.
In March 2022, České dráhy signed a contract with Siemens Mobility for the purchase of 50Siemens Vectron MS multi-system electric locomotives, which have a maximum operating speed of 230 km/h. The ComfortJet sets will be powered by these locomotives.[14] However, this is not always the case, as for example, the R 9xx Hradečan service is pulled by aČDClass 162 Locomotive.[15]
A ComfortJet train set consists of nine individual coaches that are permanently coupled with airtight interconnections. The coach furthest from the locomotive acts as acontrol car. The number of cars in the train can also be expanded by adding regular carriages, as is often done with WRmz restaurant cars.[16][17][18]
In July 2025 RailJet orders were increased from 27 trains to 40 trains.[19] Nightjet orders were increased from 13 trains, up to 33 trains, then down again in July 2025 to 24 trainsets.[19]
