He sardonically called a “breakdown” or “Schüttelzug”: The new Double-Decker, the SBB does not currently have a good reputation. In the case of a train, the years left, it is not a miracle. Currently, trains run only on a part of its original range thought.

The official justification of the SBB FV-Dosto, such as the Federal call highways, is still too little reliable. In particular, on the busy route between Bern and Zurich, SBB and not to leave the trains in commuter traffic. Add to this the loss of Comfort for the travelers, because it varies partly in the upper part of the Double mackerel’s strong. A total of twelve of the new trains are regularly in use. 62 it will be at the end. What time is this ride, however, is still open.

Meanwhile, the FV-Dosto goes up to 3500, instead of the initial 850 kilometers without a breakdown.

Who is driving that day from Bern to Zurich, the first class of the FV-Dosto come back again and again. In the case of Bombardier it is, actually, a further nine trains would be ready. On the demand why these are not commuters from A to B and literally on the siding, refers to Bombardier on the SBB.

A spokeswoman for the Federal Railways says: “The SBB are with the current performance of the new trains are not satisfied and will only take more trains in use, if the vehicles have the necessary operating stability.” The Double-Decker remain on the siding. Meanwhile, the SBB again and again, old rolling stock, to cover peaks. Or it’s run-Bahn trains on longer routes.

3000 km without a glitch

unlike the SBB Bombardier is convinced that the trains are now showing the necessary reliability. This would also show Numbers. At the timetable change in December 2018, the average length of the trips ranged from two incidents at 850 kilometers. Incidents are not to be equated in this context necessarily mean a complete Cancellation. Even minor malfunctions, a maintenance, to be counted. The value of which is between 3000 and 3500 miles. For Bombardier, that is reason enough to bring the new trains as soon as possible.

The breakdowns in the train have a lot to do with the doors, and the automatic running boards. Around a third of all disorders were due at the beginning of it. What led to repeated delays. A new version of the software has defused the problems with the doors.

Bombardier now wants to make the delivery forward. A Bombardier spokesman says: “You have to use the trains, so that the reliability can be further enhanced and experience can be collected.” Because: “trains are not just so much the better.”

One-third is paid

The delay in the Takeover of the trains, according to Bombardier, also influence how quickly the remaining vehicles can be produced. The company is convinced that you can make until the end of 2019 in addition to the nine moves 15 more ready. But only if the SBB take the next vehicles soon.

Under the same condition, Bombardier anticipates that all of the 62 trains per day travelling can be delivered until around the end of 2020. That would be about a year after the 2010 agreed Endliefertermin for the entire fleet.

The delay by the SBB are also likely to have a financial reasons. The SBB have taken the first twelve trains, which are currently in use, over. This is an important stage in the payment schedule of the trains, as a report from the SBB. For each of the twelve trains, which have been pre made, floss money.

the SBB Would take on additional trains, this would be associated with a further Deposit. A single train costs a little more than 30 million Swiss francs. About 70 percent of them are in the over sampling is due. So far, the SBB, according to their own statements, about a third of the total price of 1.9 billion Swiss franc hedged through Bank guarantees – pays.
