What is Desiro?
[[File:5022007 graz.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Desiro train in Graz, Austria]] '''Desiro''' is the brand name for a design of [[modular]] [[Trains|train]] manufactured by [[Siemens AG|Siemens]] of Germany. The Desiro can be made as a [[diesel]] or electric multiple unit (DMU or EMU). It is normally made as two and three-car trainsets. Although there are many differences between single trains, the basic body design is the same. These trains are mostly used for [[region]]al services, and belong to a new generation of light, modular trains which have become common in many [[Europe]]an [[Country|countries]]. They are sometimes thought as light regional railcars. They are mostly cheap to make and work. Their fast [[acceleration]] makes them good for services with short intervals between stations. However, they are sometimes complained by people for their poor passenger comfort. == Austria == In [[Austria]], the ÖBB ([[Austrian Federal Railways]]) is using about 60 diesel-powered Desiro trains called ''ÖBB 5022''. These are based on the Class 642 used by Deutsche Bahn, but have added more safety stuff.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.oebb.at/pv/en/Barrier-free_travelling/Rolling_stock/Talent_and_Desiro.jsp |title=oebb |accessdate=2 April 2010}}</ref> == Bulgaria == In 2005 and 2006, in [[Bulgaria]], the [[Bulgarian State Railways]] begin working Desiro trains as part of a [[Euro|€]]67-million deal with Siemens AG for a total of 25 [[Diesel multiple unit]]s. As of 22 March 2006, 16 trains had been delivered, with many of them working on the [[Sofia]]-Kyustendil-[[Sofia]] line. Another €117-million deal for 25 EMUs has also been signed with Siemens AG.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0BQQ/is_8_45/ai_n14935082/ |title=findarticles |date=August 2005 |accessdate=2 April 2010}}</ref> The EMUs were fitted out in Varna, where BDŽ and Siemens AG are thinking about making a joint venture company. The EMUs are classes 30 and 31 and are servicing [[traffic]] in the Sofia and Plovdiv areas. == Denmark == I
