The BVG Class 480 is an electric multiple unit for the Berlin S-Bahn.

It was originally meant to replace the aging S-Bahn rail cars in West Berlin, but after the reunification of the city, the remaining orders were cancelled and replaced by new orders for DBAG Class 481 cars in 1993.

Class 480 cars were ordered by BVG because the Class 475 trains, which had been taken over from Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) when BVG took control of the S-Bahn in West Berlin in 1984, were inadequate for use in West Berlin and were outdated.

Both ends of a four-unit Class 480 train has a driving cab, allowing the flexibility of having two multiple units together.

Due to the arrival of the Class 483/484 trains, all of them were relocated to line S3, where they still operate.
