Modernisation

In 2009 NedTrain has started to modernise 240, including the 50 mDDM coaches, out of 308 coaches of the DD-AR rolling stock. The other 68 coaches will be taken out of service and subsequently sold or demolished. The modernisation will transform the coaches to modern Intercity trains, which will be used as EMU's. The new name of the DD-AR will become DD-Z, which stands for 'Dubbel Dekker Zones'. The upper decks will be quiet, meant for working purposes whereas the lower decks will be for fun en enjoyment. The 240 modernised coaches will form 30 EMU's consisting of ABvs + ABv + Bv + mBs (mBs = mDDM) and 20 EMU's consisting of ABvs + ABv + ABv + Bv + Bv + mBs; so a total of 50 EMU's will be formed. The first new EMU will come into service in late 2010, the last EMU in 2013. After the modernisation of the DD-AR's, the 1700 series locomotives will no longer be used, since all new DD-Z trains have a mDDM powercar.
