The Type DT4 is a four-car electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the Hamburger Hochbahn AG on the Hamburg U-Bahn system since 1988.
Every DT4 unit consists of four cars, which are formed as two articulated half-sets with two cars each. The cars don't have gangways, but feature windows in the car ends. [2]
The interior consists of transverse seating bays. [2] Widescreen passenger information displays are to be fitted to the whole DT4 fleet, with works scheduled to be completed in 2022. [3]
The trains have steel car bodies and a three-phase propulsion system. [2] Thyristor inverters are used in the DT4.1 and DT4.2 trains, and the DT4.3 through DT4.5 trains use GTO-pulse inverters. [2] The DT4.56 and DT4.6 trains use IGBT-pulse inverters. [2]
Each four-car set has four powered bogies and two non-motored bogies. The powered bogies are equipped with water cooled three-phase asynchronous motors. [2]
The development of the DT4 began in 1986, and the first unit was completed on May 30, 1988.[ citation needed ] Passenger service began on October 17 of the same year.[ citation needed ]
The DT4 trains are being refurbished since 2011.[ citation needed ] They receive a newer interior appearance, similar to the interior of the DT5 trains. One car of set 140 was refurbished for testing purposes in summer 2010.[ citation needed ] Regular refurbishment started in 2011.[ citation needed ]
