what is it?

ÖBB Class 4011 are Austrian tilting high-speed electric multiple-unit trains, in service with Austrian Federal Railway (ÖBB). They were introduced in 2006, when ÖBB purchased three German DBAG Class 411 units, commonly known as ICE T, from the first batch of 32 originally ordered by Deutsche Bahn (DB). These units (car numbers 411 x14 to 411 x14) were renumbered as class 4011 in ÖBB's numbering scheme (to car numbers 4011 x90 to 4011 x92).
