The DTZ today forms the backbone of SBB's regional transport in the Zurich region. Due to the long-term use, a service life extension is required. Under the project name “Project DTZ Life Extension”, the DTZ fleet is being comprehensively renovated as part of an overall project.

The vehicles will reach an age of around 20-22 years at the planned lifetime extension date and have thus reached approximately half of the planned vehicle service life. In order to guarantee the technical usability of the vehicles up to the planned disposal, renewals and refurbishments should be carried out, and technically deficient or obsolete systems should be replaced or revised. After refurbishment, this work should not have to be repeated over the remaining life of the vehicles.

The subproject “LDV DTZ upholstery” includes the replacement of 1st & 2nd class upholstery.
