DB AG ICE TD
class 605
Germany 1997 20 produced
The diesel-powered ICE TD was developed in parallel with the electric ICE T with tilting technology. With a 560 kW Cummins engine in each of the four cars, it achieved a record speed of 222 km/h. It was intended to significantly reduce travel time on non-electrified, winding routes with a maximum permitted speed of 200 km/h. Due to many technical problems, the 20 trains had to be temporarily parked, sometimes for several years at a time. The last trains used between Hamburg and Denmark were retired in 2017.
