Up to four trains with 142 seats each can be coupled together (maximum 568 seats). Since January 2024, the «Lötschberger» trains have been undergoing a modernization programme in the Bönigen workshop, where various technical and customer-relevant measures are being implemented. The program ends in mid-2027.
