LINT 41

The LINT 41 is the two-part diesel railcar of Alstom's Coradia LINT family, a regional train type whose name comes from the German 'leichter innovativer Nahverkehrstriebwagen', meaning light innovative local transport rail vehicle. The family was designed by Linke-Hofmann-Busch, which Alstom acquired in 1996, and is built at Salzgitter in Germany. The number in the name gives the length: the LINT 41 measures 41.89 metres and rides on a Jacobs bogie between its two body sections, where the shorter one-piece LINT 27 is 27.26 metres. In Germany the LINT 41 is classified as DB Class 648, with related numbering of Baureihe 0623 and 1648. It has two diesel engines rated at 315, 335 or 390 kilowatts depending on delivery date, one set of doors per carriage, and about 115 seats, fewer than its longer sibling the LINT 54. The type runs mainly in Northern Germany and North Rhine-Westphalia and also in Denmark, the Netherlands and, second-hand from the Netherlands, on the Inlandsbanan in Sweden from 2019 after an upgrade for longer journeys.
