Key FactsBVG does not plan air conditioning for Berlin’s U-Bahn

Aug 15, 2025 · Reading time: ~45 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: rbb24.de

According to BVG, all buses and most trams have air conditioning, which cools them to about three degrees below the outside temperature but not below 24 degrees Celsius.

The 106 Class 483/484 trains introduced between 2021 and 2023 operate on S41/S42, S46, S47 and S8 and account for about 16 percent of the S-Bahn fleet, according to Deutsche Bahn.

Most of the more than 750 S-Bahn trains cannot be retrofitted with air conditioning, so all vehicles are not expected to be air-conditioned until the mid-2030s.

BVG considers air conditioning on U-Bahn trains unsuitable because it could heat the tunnels; newer trains have ventilation systems, and all U-Bahn trains have tilting windows.

The systems are technically designed to cool down to around 3 degrees Celsius below the outside temperature, but not below 24 degrees.
— A spokesperson for BVG in response to an inquiry from rbb|24.
