"The train sets will be built at the Siemens’ Krefeld facility in Germany and are set to operate on the Rhine-Neckar S-Bahn regional suburban rail network."

Mireo locomotives have been purchased by the Ministry for Transportation in Baden-Württemberg, the ZSPNV RLP Süd and the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Neckar to date.

A state company will assume ownership of the trainsets upon delivery and DB Regio will lease them back for the duration of the 14-year operating contract.

The Mireo trains will run as an S-Bahn on the S5, S6, S8 and S9 future lines in the Rhine-Neckar region, and will serve as the ‘Murgtäler Radexpress’ on the route between the cities of Mannheim and Baiersbronn.

Services on routes in Baden-Württemberg and southern Hesse are scheduled to begin in December 2020, while Mireo operations on the route between Mannheim and Mainz in the state of Rhineland Palatinate are expected to begin in December 2021.
