    This is just a quick EMU Concept for the Deutsche Bahn Class 407, known as the new ICE 3.

    The new ICE 3 is a high-speed electric multiple unit train, operated by Deutsche Bahn. Deutsche Bahn placed an order for fifteen trains valued €500 million in November 2008. On 18 April 2010, Deutsche Bahn presented the first Velaro D at Siemens' Krefeld plant. It is designed for operation at up to 320 km/h (200 mph), is wider, quieter and more energy-saving, should be less susceptible to malfunctions than its predecessor, and incorporates additional crashworthiness and fire safety measures. The new train was supposed to be used mainly for international services from Germany to France, Belgium and the Netherlands.

    The new type's safety measures are in line with the new specifications for operating passenger trains inside the Channel Tunnel, allowing the Class 407 to be used on the services that DB planned to operate from London to Amsterdam and Frankfurt in 2015. Delays to the delivery of the new trains led to the cancellation of the planned service to London. The new train is designated Class 407 or new ICE 3 and was originally scheduled to enter service at the end of 2011. This date has been since been postponed several times. In December 2013 the first four trains delivered to DB were licensed for domestic operation as multiple units and started with passenger traffic. Four more trains are expected for delivery in spring 2014, whereas the remainder of eight trains shall be used by Siemens for test runs in France and Belgium to gain type approval there.

    Conclusion
    And that was that, I'm gonna mention that this would most likely be added for the Köln-Aachen or upcoming Munich-Augsburg route, if this train becomes real.
