Class 76 is a bimodal multiple unit (BMU) which can can be powered either by electric power from the overhead lines or from four onboard diesel engines (and traction batteries) on non-electrified lines. The trainset consists of 6 cars, of which 2 cars have a traction system og one contains the 4 diesel engines.
The trainsets are manufactured by Stadler in Poland, Belarus, and Switzerland.
A big part of the technical equipment is placed on the roof and inside the train, in order to prevent winter-related issues and to improve accessibility for maintenance.
The trainsets have a low noise level, and are designed with a focus on universal accessibility. The large low-floor areas and the wide entrance doors ensure smooth and easy boarding and disembarking for all passengers, and large windows give excellent visibility.
The diesel engines are installed in a separate car which is well insulated against noise and vibration. Moreover, the design of the traction batteries with a capacity of 112 kWh contributes to effective operation as well as reduced energy consumption and local CO2 emissions on non-electrified train lines.
Last but not least, the Class 76 gives a three-fold increase in passenger capacity (seated and standing) compared to the old Class 92 trains that were servicing on the 3 northern lines before the arrival of the FLIRT BMU.
