The purpose was to develop a new type of train for regional traffic, and although the trains did not have a long career at DSB, the experiences with the prototype express trains formed the basis for many of the ideas that were further developed when the IC3 trains were developed. thumb|View from Traffic Tower East - IC5 workshop
