Low consumption

The Desiro ML EMU regional multiple-unit train uses the equivalent of only 0.2 liters of gasoline per person per 100 kilometers at 100 percent passenger load. The dieseldriven Desiro ML DMU, which meets Stage III b emissions regulations, is also characterized by its high efficiency and environmental compatibility. Its diesel-electric drive, in combination with active motor management and fast energy storage, reduces consumption by up to 40 percent compared to conventional diesel-powered vehicles.
