[3] The project consists of the following components: The Stuttgart–Augsburg new and upgraded line is a component of the Magistrale for Europe from Paris to Budapest, which is supported by the European Union as part of its Trans-European Networks.

When complete, high-speed trains will take 28 minutes between Stuttgart and Ulm[3] and trains between Stuttgart and Munich with stops in Ulm and Augsburg will take less than one and a half hours compared to more than two hours today.
