On 25 August 2025, ČD issued a tender for a “framework agreement for the supply of non-traction multiple units for long-distance transport”.

On Wednesday morning of 20 August 2025, the ComfortJet 012 was presented to the Austrian public at Wien Hbf.

A Talgo train is currently heading to the Czech Republic, where it will undergo tests at the VUZ Velim test centre.

Danske Statsbaner is to receive 16 fifteen-car Talgo NMUs ordered in February 2020 and April 2023.

At a time when Talgo is still sorting out its ownership situation, it must also deal with growing difficulties with the DB contract, which has reached a stage where the customer has begun to show strong dissatisfaction due to the ever-increasing delay of the project.

On  27 May 2025 Flix has awarded Talgo an around 2.4 billion EUR contract for the supply of up to 65 non-traction multiple units from the Talgo 230 platform, with an initial firm order of 30 NMUs worth near 1,060 million EUR.

TMH has created a new Class DP2D train, which consists of a six-axle Class TEP70BS diesel passenger locomotive and cars from the Class EP2DM EMU.

Almost exactly one year later, Praha main station experienced another milestone in the ComfortJet project: while on 9 April 2024 the first train, the then temporarily configured eight-car unit, was officially presented here for the first time, on 14 April 2025 the complete nine-car unit ran from the same station for its first passenger service.

Two ComfortJet units are now present in the VUZ test centre.

Since September, ComfortJet NMUs have been deployed on the SC 240/241 "Košičan" Prague - Ostrava - Košice and EC 178/175 and EC 176/177 "Berliner" Prague - Berlin - Prague services.

On 9 September 2024, the inaugural journey for the new nightjet pair Wien Hbf - Roma Tiburtina and return, operated in cooperation between ÖBB and Trenitalia, took place.

On the occasion of InnoTrans, ČD deployed for the first time a non-traction ComfortJet unit, namely 004, on the EC "Berliner" services on 24 and 25 September.

Starting Sunday 29 September 2024, ČD uses two ComfortJet non-traction multiple units (Nos. 004 and 005) into regular passenger service on the EC 178/175 and EC 176/177 "Berliner" Praha - Berlin trains.

On 25 September, ČD, Siemens Mobility and Škoda Group presented the ComfortJet cars to the public.

Although the first railjet 2 non-traction multiple units of ÖBB have already started regular passenger service this March, tests are still underway on the Velim circuits.
