The SBB RABe 512, also known as IR-Dosto (lit. 'InterRegio Bilevel'), is a class of bilevel electric multiple units being manufactured by Stadler Rail for Swiss Federal Railways. It is a derivative of the Stadler KISS and a follow-on to the SBB RABe 511. The trains are expected to enter service with the December 2023 timetable change.

History
Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) ordered 60 trainsets from Stadler Rail in April 2021 at a cost of CHF1.3 billion. Siemens criticized SBB's decision to exercise an option from a previous contract and not put the contract out to bid. The trains are expected to begin revenue service with the December 2023 timetable change, with the order complete by 2026.
