When the Danish national railway company (DSB) receives 83 new diesel multiple units it ordered from AnsaldoBreda, the trainsets will come with SAB WABCO body brake systems, thanks to a $9.4 million order the Italian DMU manufacturer placed in late May. An option could add equipment for 67 more trains.



SAB WABCO plans to equip the trains with Gemini 2 electronic systems, which would control and distribute the braking force, and a compact integrated relay valve to control brake pressure. The brake equipment will be produced in SAB WABCO’s Italy plant.



DSB plans to operate the four-car trains on the Copenhagen-Arhus line. The railway expects to begin taking delivery of the trains in February 2002, and enter them into service the following year.
