The Siemens Vectouro (previously also marketed as Viaggio Comfort and Viaggio Next Level) is a modular single-level non-traction multiple unit (NMU) built by Siemens Mobility starting 2023.
It is designed to be highly modular and configurable, including the number of coaches per set and floor height.[1]
History
On 12 April 2021, the Siemens Mobility – Škoda Transportation consortium won the competition for the framework contract for the supply of 180 new express wagons for České dráhy. 20 sets consist of 9 Siemens 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's Nightjet network as NJ 40420/40491 Innsbruck - Hamburg and NJ 490/491 Vienna – Hamburg services. They are hauled by ÖBB Taurus locomotives instead of Siemens 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 ÖBB Railjet 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 Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) Railjet is a single-level passenger coach designed for long-distance intercity passenger service.[6] Initially marketed by its manufacturer Siemens Mobility as Viaggio Comfort non-traction unit.
A typical set of Railjet NMU includes 7 coaches and a locomotive (currently Siemens EuroSprinter ES64U2, EuroSprinter ES64U4 and Vectron) for push and pull operations.
The first batch (RJ 001-023) are configured for operations in Switzerland and Hungary, therefore are only coupled with similarly configured ES64U2 “Taurus 2” locomotives (1116 201-223) and are equipped with Mirel VZ1, ZUB and Intregra-Signum signaling systems for operations in these two countries.
Three (RJ 029-031) of the 37 sets from the second batch of train sets are also equipped with Mirel VZ1 to extend the operation into the Czech Republic. Together with the 7 other Railjet sets from České dráhy (ČD), they form a cooperated operation on the Prague-Vienna-Graz line.

The Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) Nightjet New Generation (NJ NG) is a single-level passenger coach designed for long-distance overnight passenger service.[7] Initially marketed by its manufacturer Siemens Mobility as Viaggio Next Level non-traction unit, they are similar to other locomotive-hauled Railjet trains, but include sleeping car and couchette carriages for sleeping.[8]
A typical set of NJ NG includes 7 coaches and a locomotive (currently Siemens EuroSprinter ES64U2, EuroSprinter ES64U4 and Vectron) for push and pull operations.[7] One control car at the front of the set which also functions as a seating car, a Vectron-style cab is also installed for push-operations. Thereafter comes another seating car with low-floor entries, three couchettes and two sleeping cars.[9]
On 27 November 2025, after two years into service, the European Union Agency for Railways (ERA) granted certification for the control car (Bfmpz) of the Nightjet New Generation NMU to use the remote cab for push-and-pull operations in Germany and Austria.[10] However Italy and the Netherlands are still pending.
Design
The planned interior design of the night trains was demonstrated by Siemens and ÖBB during September 2022.[11] All sleeping car compartments feature an en-suite wet room with combined shower and toilet.[12] One "Comfort Plus" sleeping car compartment per carriage has an en-suite bathroom with en-suite toilet and separate shower.[12]
Shared couchette accommodation is provided either as fixed four-bed compartments, or as mini-suite capsules similar to capsule hotel accommodation.[12] Carriages are fitted with a fire sprinkler system.[12]
To simplify reversing and shunting operations the first seating carriage is a control car.[12] At the opposite end of the train, the last sleeping carriage has a standard gangway connection for coupling to older rolling stock.[12]
Nightjet 2.0 trains were designed for operation up to 250 km/h (160 mph), but are limited to 230 km/h (140 mph) in use.[12] Two train sets coupled together fit into the standard 400 m (1,300 ft) maximum railway platform length for passenger trains in Europe.[12] A single trainset can carry up to 254 passengers, and a double-set up to 508 passengers.[12]
Orders
In August 2021, the order was increased from 13 new Nightjet trains to 33 trains.[8] In July 2025, the production ratio between Siemens Viaggio Next Level Railjets and Nightjets was adjusted, with the number of Nightjet trains reduced to 24,[13] and Railjets increased to 40 sets (28 with seven carriages, and 12 with nine carriages).[13]
Services
The Vienna/Innsbruck–Hamburg-Altona station night train received the first Nightjet 2.0 trains on 10 December 2023.[12] Services from Vienna–Bregenz have used the stock since March 2024,[14] with Vienna–Rome being added in September 2024.[14] The stock was first used on the Vienna/Innsbruck–Amsterdam Centraal station service in May 2025.[15][16][17]

The Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) Railjet New Generation (RJ NG) is a single-level passenger coach designed for long-distance intercity passenger service.[6] Initially marketed by its manufacturer Siemens Mobility as Viaggio Next Level non-traction unit.
A typical set of Railjet New Generation NMU includes 9 coaches and a locomotive (currently Siemens EuroSprinter ES64U2, EuroSprinter ES64U4 and Vectron) for push and pull operations.
It is designed to replace the old fleet of Railjet first generation coaches and InterCity coach pool which are now the work horses of Austrian intercity rail network.
On 27 November 2025, after a year into service, the European Union Agency for Railways (ERA) has granted the certification for the control car (Bfmpz) of the Nightjet New Generation NMU to use the remote cab for push-and-pull operations in Germany and Austria.[10] However Italy is still pending, therefore cross-border services remains current locomotive-hauled configuration.

The ComfortJet is a high-speed push-pull train which is being built by Siemens Mobility and Škoda Transportation for the Czech train operator České dráhy and is planned to start operations from summer 2024.[21] Based on the Railjet, Siemens developed its Vectrain train family. It will operate at speeds of up to 230 km/h and will replace old carriages on international EuroCity services between the Czech Republic, Germany, Denmark, Austria, Slovakia and Hungary and on domestic InterCity services in the Czech Republic.[22] It is very similar to the InterJet trains based on the same Viaggio 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 50 Siemens Vectron 230 multi-system electric locomotives, which have a maximum operating speed of 230 km/h. The ComfortJet sets will be powered by these locomotives.[23] However, this is not always the case, as for example, the R 9xx Hradečan service is pulled by a ČD Class 162 Locomotive. [24]
A ComfortJet train set consists of nine individual coaches that are permanently coupled with airtight interconnections. The coach furthest from the locomotive acts as a control car. The number of cars in the train can also be expanded by adding regular carriages, as is often done with WRmz restaurant cars.[25][26][27]
