The first produced 221M was transferred to InnoTrans Trade Fair in Berlin in September 2010.[3]

The seats in the units are arranged in a group arrangement in the area of the high floors, and a line arrangement in the lower zone. The unit has 6 hangers for bicycles, electrical plugs, passenger information system, air conditioning and monitoring.[8]

Both of the units have a two-axle drive 74RSNa type of a wheelbase of 2500 mm, and the two-axle units use the Jakobs 72RSTa system type with a wheelbase of 2900 mm. The chassis is held on gas springs (stage two of the suspension) and coil springs (first level of the suspension).[9]

The drive of the unit uses two drive units in the power-pack system, consisting of a diesel engine with a capacity of 390 kW, power transmission, compressor, generator and the engine cooling system. The range of the unit is 1000 km.[10]
