For the Bridgman form of water ice, see Ice II. For the film, see Ice 2.The ICE 2 is the second series of German high-speed trains and one of six in the Intercity-Express family since 1995. The ICE 2 (half-) trains are even closer to a conventional push\u2013pull train than the ICE\u00a01, because each train consists of only one locomotive (Class 402, called powerhead), six passenger cars (Classes 805 to 807) and a cab car (Class 808). The maximum speed is 280\u00a0km\/h (170\u00a0mph), but this is limited to 250\u00a0km\/h (160\u00a0mph) when the cab car is leading the train and even further down to 160\u00a0km\/h (99\u00a0mph) when two units are coupled at the powerheads due to the forces on the overhead line by their respective pantographs.

Until the class 808 cab cars were cleared for passenger service, two ICE 2 half-trains had been solidly coupled to form a permanent block train.Cars[edit]The passenger cars are very different from the ICE\u00a01 cars, despite their similar exterior. The weight has been significantly reduced and the passenger compartments have been removed in favor of a seating arrangement similar to an airliner (due to reduced seat pitch). Also, the train has been equipped with air suspension to circumvent the wheel noise problems of the ICE\u00a01, which led to the installation of rubber-buffered wheel rims on the ICE\u00a01 units and therefore the Eschede train disaster.ICE 2 trains have no service car as the class 803 on ICE\u00a01 trains, on the other hand the class 808 cab car is unique to the ICE\u00a02.Service[edit]  Refurbished ICE-2 2nd class saloon with passenger information system screen at the ceilingICE 2 trains usually run on the main east\u2013west line, starting in Berlin with two unit block train. In Hamm the train is separated into two half-trains. One half-train goes through the Ruhr area to Cologne\/Bonn Airport station, while the other half-train continues through Wuppertal and Cologne to Bonn. In the opposite direction, both half-trains are coupled again at Hamm. Some trains also serve the Munich\u2014Hanover line with halves continuing to Hamburg and Bremen respectively.Eurotrain[edit]  The Eurotrain demonstration train at Munich-Laim on 4 April 1998Eurotrain was a joint venture formed by Siemens and GEC-Alsthom (today Alstom) in 1996 to market high-speed rail technology in Asia. In 1997, it was one of two competitors to supply the core system of Taiwan High Speed Rail (THSR), and was awarded the status of preferred bidder by concessionaire THSRC.[1]In early 1998, the two companies created a demonstration train by combining cars of three existing French and German high-speed trains: ICE 2 powerheads 402\u00a0042 and 402\u00a0046, were joined at both ends to the articulated double-deck intermediate cars of TGV Duplex trainset #224. On 4 May 1998, the Eurotrain demonstration train made a presentation run on the Hanover\u2013W\u00fcrzburg high-speed railway in Germany, achieving a maximum speed of 316\u00a0km\/h (196\u00a0mph).[2][3]In December 2000, THSRC decided to award the contract to the rival Taiwan Shinkansen Consortium,[1] leading to a legal battle[4] ending in damage payments for Eurotrain in 2004.[5][6]Upgrading of electrical traction equipment[edit]On September 25, 2014, Mitsubishi Electric Corp. of Japan announced that it had received a contract from DB to supply new IGBT (insulated-gate bipolar transistor) power modules to replace the old GTO (Gate turn-off thyristor) power modules in the drives of 46 ICE 2 trainsets.  Mitsubishi said that the modern smaller and lighter IGBT power modules will reduce power consumption and extend the life of the ICE 2 trains. The contract for $22 million was expected to be completed by 2019.[7]DB was to replace the ICE 2 trains with the future ICE 4 trains.[8]  but in 2022 DB fleet planning showed all 44 currently in operation will still be in operating into 2029.[9]  See also[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Wikimedia Commons has media related to ICE 2.TechnologiesHigh-speed trains350\u00a0km\/h(217\u00a0mph)or more300\u2013349\u00a0km\/h(186\u2013217\u00a0mph)Avelia HorizonRenfe Class 100, 102, 103Alstom AGVChina Railway Hexie CRH2C, 3C, 380A \/ MTR CRH380A, 380B, 380C, 380DEMU-320ETR 500ETR 1000Eurostar e300; e320ICE 3KTX-I, II (Sancheon)OarisShinkansen Series 500, N700, N700S, E5\/H5, E6, E8AVRILTGV Sud-Est (refurbished), Atlantique, R\u00e9seau, Duplex, POS, 2N2, MTCDD HT80000Thalys PBA, PBKATHSR 700TSiemens Velaro250\u2013299\u00a0km\/h(155\u2013186\u00a0mph)Avelia LibertyChina Star, DJF2, China Railway Hexie CRH1A, 1B, 1E, 2A, 2B, 2E, 2G, 3A, 5A, 5E, 5G, China Railway Fuxing CR300AF, CR300BFICE 1, 2, 4 (ICx)KTX-EumNew PendolinoRenfe Class 120, 121, 130SapsanSBB RABe 501, RABe 503Shinkansen Series 200, 300, 700, 800, E2, E3, E7\/W7TCDD HT65000TGV Sud-Est (original), La PosteV250200\u2013249\u00a0km\/h(124\u2013155\u00a0mph)AcelaACS-64AdelanteAPTRenfe Class 101China Railway DJJ1, China Railway Hexie CRH6, China Railway Fuxing CR200JER200HHP-8IC4ICNGInterCity 125, 225ICE T, TDJavelinNSB Class 71 (Flytoget)NSB Class 73NSB Class 74PendolinoRailjetReginaShinkansen series 0, 100, 400, E1, E4SBB RABDe 500, RABDe 502, RABe 502, Re 460SC-44SCB-40X 2000, SJ X40Z-TER (Z 21500)SokolBritish Rail Classes 800, 801, 802, 803, 805, 807, 810Talgo XXIVoyager\/MeridianX3High-speed railway lineBy countries and territoriesplanned networks in italics     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/ice-2-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"ICE 2 – Wikipedia"}}]}]
