what is it?
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.

- At full speed it would cover Amsterdam–Utrecht (≈ 40 km) in 12 minutes.
- 3.4 MW is about 40 family cars (~85 kW each) flat out.
- Weighs about as much as 33 African elephants (~6 t each).
- 110 m long: about 24 cars parked nose to tail.
multiple unit: A self-propelled train: motors are spread under the passenger cars, so no separate locomotive.
