From the ICE in international long-distance service to a rolling high-tech laboratory: The two "Advanced TrainLab" trains of the Deutsche Bahn are now among the most extraordinary vehicles on German railways. Behind these test trains lie two former Class 605 diesel multiple units, better known as the ICE TD. Originally developed for fast passenger transport, two examples of this distinctive class were given a completely new role after their regular service ended.
The two four-part multiple units, Tz 5517 and Tz 5519, were converted by DB-Systemtechnik into test platforms for developing and testing new railway technologies. The first "Advanced TrainLab" entered service at the end of 2018, with the second following in 2021. Since then, both vehicles have served as versatile test platforms for Deutsche Bahn as well as for partners from industry and academia.
With a top speed of 200 km/h, the vehicles enable testing at speeds ranging from walking pace to high-speed conditions. Their drive system, which is independent of the overhead line, also makes them particularly versatile: test runs are possible even on lines without overhead lines.
