The AM08 trains have thus become key players in passenger transport in Belgium, embodying a quiet renaissance at the heart of the network.

AM08: The Daily Movement Since 2012
The AM08 is a generation of electric multiple units that entered service in 2012 for SNCB. Designed by Siemens AG, they stand out for their accessibility, versatility, and daily presence across the entire Belgian rail network. Designed to handle passenger flows smoothly, they embody a quiet renaissance of rail travel: one that is simpler, more accessible… and deeply rooted in the rhythm of modern life.
“The railroad is civilization moving full steam ahead.”
— Victor Hugo
