 * Stadler KISS for MÁV uses 25kV/50Hz AC traction. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.120.158.116 (talk) 10:05, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

Accident reporting supressed.
The article should include an accident(s) section. An austrian private railway KISS was utterly destroyed under unexplainable circumstances in Linz Hbf in 2017 August. It collided at low speed (less than PTC activation speed) with a Siemens Vectron e-lok pulling a freight train, yet the KISS's entire front powerhead was literally twisted off the main body, while the Vectron lost just one front buffer. Fatalities were avoided only because the KISS was empty doing pre-acceptance test runs.

The austrian traffic safety bureau suddenly stopped open publication of its findings after that incident, so nobody can learn how the KISS's structure could fail so spectacularly. That causes a great deal of anxiety among hungarian rail passengers, as 20 KISS-es are soon to enter service with MÁV. Previous, extremely fatal accidents with the single-decker Stadler KISS type EMU in Italy and Germany have shaken public confidence in the swiss vendor, which uses excessively lightweight structures not authorized at competing vendors like Alstom and Bombardier. 79.120.158.116 (talk) 10:04, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

 * In addition: the single-decker Stadler type EMU is not KISS (it's Stadler FLIRT). Белов А.В. (talk) 19:40, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
