Unlike their predecessors, the ICE 3 units are built not as trains with separate passenger and power cars, but as <a href="/wiki/Electric_multiple_unit" title="Electric multiple unit">electric multiple units</a> with underfloor motors throughout. This also reduced the load per axle and enabled the ICE 3 to comply with the pertinent <a href="/wiki/International_Union_of_Railways" title="International Union of Railways">UIC</a> standard. </p><p>Initially two different classes were developed: the <a href="/wiki/DBAG_Class_403" class="mw-redirect" title="DBAG Class 403">Class 403</a> (domestic ICE 3) and the <a href="/wiki/DBAG_Class_406" class="mw-redirect" title="DBAG Class 406">Class 406</a> (ICE 3M), the M standing for <i>Mehrsystem</i> (<a href="/wiki/Multi-system_locomotive" class="mw-redirect" title="Multi-system locomotive">multi-system</a>). Later came Class 407 and Class 408.

The ICE-TD was intended for certain routes without electric overhead cables such as Dresden-Munich and Munich-Zürich lines. However, the Class 605 trains (ICE-TD) experienced many technical issues and unanticipated escalation in operating cost due to the diesel fuel being fully taxed in Germany. They were taken off revenue service shortly after delivery.

A large part of the Danish railway network had not been electrified so <a href="/wiki/DSB_(railway_company)" title="DSB (railway company)">DSB (Danish State Railways)</a> used the diesel-powered trains. When DSB ordered the new <a href="/wiki/IC4" title="IC4">IC4</a> train sets, the company did not anticipate the long delay with the delivery and the technical issues with the train sets. To compensate for the shortage of available trains, DSB leased the ICE-TD while the delivery and technical issues with IC4 were being addressed. The operating cost was much lower due to the lower fuel tax in Denmark. After the issues with IC4 were resolved, the ICE-TD fleet was removed from revenue service and stored. </p><p>Deutsche Bahn retired the entire ICE TD fleet in 2018.<sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Differences_in_train_layouts">Differences in train layouts</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Intercity_Express&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Differences in train layouts"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:ICE_1_Frankfurt_am_Main_Flughafen_Fernbahnhof.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/30/ICE_1_Frankfurt_am_Main_Flughafen_Fernbahnhof.jpg/220px-ICE_1_Frankfurt_am_Main_Flughafen_Fernbahnhof.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/30/ICE_1_Frankfurt_am_Main_Flughafen_Fernbahnhof.jpg/330px-ICE_1_Frankfurt_am_Main_Flughafen_Fernbahnhof.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/30/ICE_1_Frankfurt_am_Main_Flughafen_Fernbahnhof.jpg/440px-ICE_1_Frankfurt_am_Main_Flughafen_Fernbahnhof.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1600" data-file-height="1200" /></a><figcaption>ICE 1 – in service since 1991</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Heidelberg_Hbf_-_ICE_3_2.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/db/Heidelberg_Hbf_-_ICE_3_2.jpg/220px-Heidelberg_Hbf_-_ICE_3_2.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/db/Heidelberg_Hbf_-_ICE_3_2.jpg/330px-Heidelberg_Hbf_-_ICE_3_2.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/db/Heidelberg_Hbf_-_ICE_3_2.jpg/440px-Heidelberg_Hbf_-_ICE_3_2.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3264" data-file-height="2448" /></a><figcaption>ICE 3 – a new design</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Geisberg_Nord.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/98/Geisberg_Nord.jpg/220px-Geisberg_Nord.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="147" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/98/Geisberg_Nord.jpg/330px-Geisberg_Nord.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/98/Geisberg_Nord.jpg/440px-Geisberg_Nord.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1000" data-file-height="667" /></a><figcaption>ICE S (successor of the ICE V)</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Fst_ICE_3MF.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/75/Fst_ICE_3MF.jpg/220px-Fst_ICE_3MF.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="147" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/75/Fst_ICE_3MF.jpg/330px-Fst_ICE_3MF.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/75/Fst_ICE_3MF.jpg/440px-Fst_ICE_3MF.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1000" data-file-height="667" /></a><figcaption>Inside the cab of an ICE 3</figcaption></figure> <table> <tbody><tr> <th style="width:120px;"> </th> <th> </th></tr> <tr valign="top"> <td><b>ICE (generally):</b></td> <td><b>Pale grey livery with red stripe and convoluted rubber gaiters between carriages</b> <i>(distinctive from all other DB trains)</i> <br /> <b>Black window band with oval door windows except in ICE 4</b> <i>(distinctive from <a href="/wiki/Intercity_(Deutsche_Bahn)" title="Intercity (Deutsche Bahn)">Intercity</a> / <a href="/wiki/Metropolitan_(train)" title="Metropolitan (train)">Metropolitan</a> cars)</i> <br /> <b>Wheels-on-rails technology</b> <i>(distinctive from the <a href="/wiki/Transrapid" title="Transrapid">Transrapid</a>)</i> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"> <td colspan="2"> <hr /> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"> <td><b><a href="/wiki/ICE_1" title="ICE 1">ICE 1</a>:</b></td> <td>two <a href="/wiki/Electric_locomotive" title="Electric locomotive">power heads</a> and up to 14 intermediate cars; <a href="/wiki/Dining_car" title="Dining car">restaurant car</a> with high roof; nose with DB logo that interrupts red stripe (unique to the ICE 1); maximum speed is 280 km/h (174 mph).<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

/></a><figcaption>The refurbished 2nd class interior of an ICE 3 trainset</figcaption></figure> <p>The ICE trains adhere to a high standard of technology: all cars are fully air-conditioned and nearly every seat features a <a href="/wiki/Headphone" class="mw-redirect" title="Headphone">headphone</a> jack which enables the passenger to listen to several on-board music and voice programmes as well as several radio stations. Some seats in the 1st class section (in some trains also in 2nd class) are equipped with video displays showing movies and pre-recorded infotainment programmes. Each train is equipped with special cars that feature in-train repeaters for improved <a href="/wiki/Mobile_phone" title="Mobile phone">mobile phone</a> reception as well as designated quiet zones where the use of mobile phones is discouraged. The newer ICE 3 trains also have larger digital displays in all coaches, displaying, among other things, Deutsche Bahn advertising, the predicted arrival time at the next destination and the current speed of the train. </p><p>The ICE 1 was originally equipped with a passenger information system based on <a href="/wiki/Bildschirmtext" title="Bildschirmtext">BTX</a>, however this system was eventually taped over and removed in the later refurbishment. The ICE 3 trains feature <a href="/wiki/Touch_screen" class="mw-redirect" title="Touch screen">touch screen</a> terminals in some carriages, enabling travellers to print train timetables. The system is also located in the restaurant car of the ICE 2. </p><p>The ICE 1 fleet saw a major overhaul between 2005 and 2008, supposed to extend the lifetime of the trains by another 15 to 20 years. Seats and the interior design were adapted to the ICE 3 design, electric sockets were added to every seat, the audio and video entertainment systems were removed and electronic seat reservation indicators were added above the seats. The ICE 2 trains have been undergoing the same procedure since 2010. </p><p>ICE 2 trains feature electric sockets at selected seats, ICE 3 and ICE T trains have sockets at nearly every seat. </p><p>The ICE 3 and ICE T are similar in their interior design, but the other ICE types differ in their original design. The ICE 1, the ICE 2 and seven-car ICE T (Class 411) are equipped with a full restaurant car. The five-car ICE T (Class 415) and ICE 3 however, have been designed without a restaurant, they feature a bistro coach instead. Since 1 October 2006, smoking is prohibited in the bistro coaches, similar to the restaurant cars, which have always been non-smoking. </p><p>All trains feature a toilet for disabled passengers and wheelchair spaces. The ICE 1 and ICE 2 have a special conference compartment whilst the ICE 3 features a compartment suitable for small children. The ICE 3 and ICE T omit the usual train manager's compartment and have an open counter named "ServicePoint" instead. </p><p>An electronic display above each seat indicates the locations between which the seat has been reserved. Passengers without reservations are permitted to take seats with a blank display or seats with no reservation on the current section. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Maintenance">Maintenance</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Intercity_Express&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: Maintenance"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The maintenance schedule of the trains is divided into seven steps: </p> <ol><li>Every 4,000 kilometres, an inspection taking about 1½ hours is undertaken. The waste collection tanks are emptied and fresh water tanks are refilled. Acute defects (e.g. malfunctioning doors) are rectified. Safety tests are also conducted. These include checking the <a href="/wiki/Pantograph_(rail)" class="mw-redirect" title="Pantograph (rail)">pantograph</a> pressure, cleaning and checking for fissures in the rooftop insulators, inspecting transformers and checking the pantograph's current collector for wear. The wheels are also checked in this inspection.</li> <li>Every 20,000 kilometres, a 2½ hour inspection is conducted, called <i>Nachschau</i>. In this inspection, the brakes, the <a href="/wiki/Linienzugbeeinflussung" title="Linienzugbeeinflussung">Linienzugbeeinflussung</a> systems and the anti-lock brakes are checked.</li> <li>After 80,000 kilometres, the train undergoes the <i>Inspektionsstufe 1</i>. During the two modules, each lasting eight hours, the brakes receive a thorough check, as well as the air conditioning and the kitchen equipment. The batteries are checked, as well as the seats and the passenger information system.</li> <li>Once the train has reached 240,000 kilometres, the <i>Inspektionsstufe 2</i> mandates a check of the <a href="/wiki/Electric_motor" title="Electric motor">electric motors</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Bearing_(mechanical)" title="Bearing (mechanical)">bearings</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Driveshaft" class="mw-redirect" title="Driveshaft">driveshafts</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Bogie" title="Bogie">bogies</a> and the couplers. This inspection is usually carried out in two modules taking eight hours each.</li> <li>About once a year (when reaching 480,000 km), the <i>Inspektionsstufe 3</i> takes place, at three times eight hours each. In addition to the other checkup phases, it includes checks on the <a href="/wiki/Pneumatics" title="Pneumatics">pneumatics</a> systems, and the transformer cooling. Maintenance work is performed inside the passenger compartment.</li> <li>The <i>1st Revision</i> is carried out after 1.2 million km. It includes a thorough check of all components of the train and is carried out in two five-day segments.</li> <li>The seventh and final step is the <i>2nd Revision</i>, which happens when reaching 2.4 million kilometres. The <a href="/wiki/Bogie" title="Bogie">bogies</a> are exchanged for new ones and many components of the train are disassembled and checked. This step also takes two five-day segments.</li></ol> <p>Maintenance on the ICE trains is carried out in special ICE workshops located in Basel, Berlin, Cologne, Dortmund, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Leipzig<sup id="cite_ref-21" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and Munich. The train is worked upon at up to four levels at a time and fault reports are sent to the workshops in advance by the on-board computer system to minimize maintenance time. </p> <div class="mw-heading

Connections are offered in either 30-minute, hourly or bi-hourly intervals. Furthermore, additional services run during peak times, and some services call at lesser stations during off-peak times. </p><p>Unlike the French <a href="/wiki/TGV" title="TGV">TGV</a> or the Japanese <a href="/wiki/Shinkansen" title="Shinkansen">Shinkansen</a> systems, the vehicles, tracks and operations were not designed as an integrated whole; rather, the ICE system has been integrated into Germany's pre-existing system of railway lines instead. One of the effects of this is that the ICE 3 trains can reach a speed of 300 km/h (186 mph) only on some stretches of line and cannot currently reach their maximum allowed speed of 330 km/h on German railway lines (though a speed of 320 km/h is reached by ICE 3 in France). </p><p>The line most heavily utilised by ICE trains is the <a href="/wiki/Mannheim%E2%80%93Frankfurt_railway" title="Mannheim–Frankfurt railway">Mannheim–Frankfurt railway</a> between <a href="/wiki/Frankfurt" title="Frankfurt">Frankfurt</a> and <a href="/wiki/Mannheim" title="Mannheim">Mannheim</a> due to the bundling of many ICE lines in that region. When considering all traffic (freight, local and long-distance passenger), the busiest line carrying ICE traffic is the <a href="/wiki/Munich%E2%80%93Augsburg_railway" title="Munich–Augsburg

Sprinter" trains are trains with fewer stops between Germany's major cities running in the morning and evening hours. They are tailored for business travellers or long-distance commuters and are marketed by DB as an alternative to domestic flights. Some of the Sprinter services continue as normal ICE services after reaching their destination. The service is usually half an hour faster than a standard ICE between the same cities. </p><p>A reservation was mandatory on the ICE Sprinter until December 2015. </p><p>The first Sprinter service was established between <a href="/wiki/Munich" title="Munich">Munich</a> and <a href="/wiki/Frankfurt" title="Frankfurt">Frankfurt</a> in 1992. <a href="/wiki/Frankfurt" title="Frankfurt">Frankfurt</a>-<a href="/wiki/Hamburg" title="Hamburg">Hamburg</a> followed in 1993 and <a href="/wiki/Cologne" title="Cologne">Cologne</a>-Hamburg in 1994. This service ran as a <a href="/wiki/Metropolitan_(train)" title="Metropolitan (train)">Metropolitan</a> service between December 1996 and December 2004. In 1998, a Berlin-Frankfurt service was introduced and a service between Cologne and <a href="/wiki/Stuttgart" title="Stuttgart">Stuttgart</a> ran between December 2005 and October 2006. </p><p>Until December 2006, a morning Sprinter service ran between Frankfurt and Munich (with an intermediate stop at <a href="/wiki/Mannheim" title="Mannheim">Mannheim</a>), taking 3:25 hours for the journey. This has been since replaced by a normal ICE connection taking only 3:21 hours. </p><p>Starting with the December 2017 schedule change, a new Sprinter line links <a href="/wiki/Berlin_main_station"

Trainset 51, travelling as ICE 884 <i>Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen</i> from Munich to Hamburg, derailed at 200 km/h (124 mph), killing 101 people and injuring 88. It remains the world's worst high-speed rail disaster. </p><p>The cause of the accident was a wheel rim which broke and damaged the train six kilometres south of the accident site. The wheel rim penetrated the carriage floor and lifted the check rail of a set of <a href="/wiki/Railroad_switch" title="Railroad switch">points</a> close to Eschede station. This guide rail also penetrated the floor of the car, becoming embedded in the vehicle and lifting the nearby wheels off the rails. One of the now-derailed wheels struck the points lever of the following set of points to change direction, and the rear cars of the trainset were diverted to a different track. They hit the pillars of a street overpass, which then collapsed onto the tracks. Only three cars and the front powerhead passed under the bridge, the rest of the 14-car train jack-knifed into the collapsed bridge. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Other_accidents">Other accidents</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Intercity_Express&action=edit&section=29" title="Edit section: Other accidents"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:4011592_Unfall.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f9/4011592_Unfall.jpg/150px-4011592_Unfall.jpg" decoding="async" width="150" height="225" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f9/4011592_Unfall.jpg/225px-4011592_Unfall.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f9/4011592_Unfall.jpg/300px-4011592_Unfall.jpg 2x" data-file-width="667" data-file-height="1000" /></a><figcaption>Damaged <i>ICE T</i> trainset 1192</figcaption></figure> <p>On 27 September 2001, trainset 5509 fell off a work platform at the <a href="/wiki/Hof,_Germany" class="mw-redirect" title="Hof, Germany">Hof</a> maintenance facility and was written off. </p><p>On 22 November 2001, powerhead <i>401 020</i> caught fire.

The driver of the Swiss locomotives was unfamiliar with the new layout of the station, which had been recently changed. He did not see a shunting signal ordering him to stop. The locomotives automatically engaged the emergency brakes when he passed the signal, but came to a stop on the same track as the approaching ICE. The ICE was travelling at a speed of 74 km/h.
