Siemens Viaggio Light

Siemens Viaggio Light is a standard gauge single-deck passenger train made by Siemens AG, initially as the diesel ISR SDPP (single deck push-pull) trainset for Israel Railways.

They were coloured blue and white after the scheme won in a public poll published by Israel Railways.

[3] The trains were constructed by Siemens in their factories in Prague, Maribor, and a temporary one built in Israel.

[4] The bogies were tested in Graz, Austria, and the cars in Switzerland by a company called PROSE,[5] and delivered to Israel between 18 June, 2008, and July 2009, after three delays.

[7] In early 2010, due to an anticipated equipment shortage because of the opening of new rail lines, Israel Railways exercised its option to purchase additional units, ordering 4 control cars and 27 regular cars for the sum of €46 million.

[13] These and other problems caused Israel Railways to take Viaggio Light out of service in May 2009, until the issues were sorted out.
