NS Intercity Nieuwe Generatie
Class of electric multiple units for Nederlandse Spoorwegen
NS Intercity Nieuwe Generatie
The Intercity Nieuwe Generatie (English: Intercity New Generation), or ICNG, nicknamed "Wesp" (Wasp) is an electric multiple unit trainset of the Dutch Railways. In addition to supplementing the existing intercity rolling stock, it will replace the Bombardier TRAXX locomotives and Intercityrijtuig coaches on the high-speed line between Amsterdam and Belgium. This will provide the connection that was originally planned to be provided by the Fyra service, which was cancelled in 2013. The process to acquire the trains began in 2014, eventually resulting in trains built by Alstom Konstal in Poland based on their Coradia Stream platform. The trains arrived in the Netherlands starting in 2020, and after a period of testing, entered passenger service in April 2023.
