The Protos is an electric multiple unit built by the German company Fahrzeugtechnik Dessau.

Details

The train is built with two coaches. The train has a low floor, at a height of 810 mm, so there is little to no step between the platform height and the trains. The prototype unit left the factory in September 2006 and was displayed at InnoTrans 2006. The only operator of these units is Connexxion on the Valleilijn between Amersfoort and Ede-Wageningen in the Netherlands where 5 sets were delivered. After testing, the units entered passenger service in September 2007.
