VAG Class DT2

The VAG Class DT2 is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the Verkehrs-Aktiengesellschaft Nürnberg on the Nuremberg U-Bahn system.

It is a derivative of the MVG Class B, in service on the Munich U-Bahn since 1981.

The car bodies are made out of aluminium, and the trains are powered by three-phase motors.

[1] Unlike its predecessor DT1 and the related Class B, the three-phase motors of the DT2 are arranged transverse to the direction of travel.

[1] Besides the power supply by contact shoes, every unit is also equipped with a pantograph, as parts of the maintenance facilities are electrified with overhead lines.
