The new WINK train will have a length of 55.5m, width of 2.82m and height of 4.12m, while its design includes a central PowerPack unit combined with energy generation, traction elements and auxiliary systems.

WINK trains are able to accommodate up to 135 people and attain a maximum speed of 140km/h with maximum traction of 1000kW.

The vehicles are expected to be put into operation along the Leeuwarden-Groningen route from 2020.

The initial design of the train comprises bi-modal two-car multiple units, which are to be powered by a Deutz diesel engine fuelled with hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO).

In addition, the locomotives will be fitted with batteries to store regenerated braking energy to allow the diesel engines to be turned off when the trains stop at stations for extended periods.

They are planned to be switched to a zero-emissions operational configuration following the completion of the partial electrification of the Leeuwarden-Groningen route, which is scheduled to be finalised by 2025.
