Every DT4 train consists of four cars, which are formed as two articulated half-sets with two cars each. The cars don't have gangways, but feature windows in the inner car ends.[2]
The interior consists of transverse seating bays.[2] Widescreen passenger information displays are to be fitted to the whole DT4 fleet, with works scheduled to be completed in 2022.[3]
The trains have steel car bodies and a three-phase propulsion system.[2] Thyristor inverters are used in the DT4.1 and DT4.2 trains, and the DT4.3 through DT4.5 trains use GTO-pulse inverters.[2] The DT4.56 and DT4.6 trains use IGBT-pulse inverters.[2]
Each four-car set has four powered bogies and two non-motored jacobs bogies. The powered bogies are equipped with water cooled three-phase asynchronous motors.[2]
The development of the DT4 began in 1986, and the first unit was completed on May 30, 1988.[citation needed] Passenger service began on October 17 of the same year.[citation needed]
The DT4 trains are being refurbished since 2011.[citation needed] They receive a newer interior appearance, similar to the interior of the DT5 trains. One car of set 140 was refurbished for testing purposes in summer 2010.[citation needed] Regular refurbishment started in 2011.[citation needed]
