A little history:
Since 26 October 2021, it has been possible to use all public transport (public and private rail transport, urban transport and transport associations) at regional, interregional and national level for one year with the new "KlimaTicket". This should promote the attractiveness of public transport, convince people of its practicality and thus encourage them to switch to bus and/or train.
To best communicate this wonderful initiative, the most obvious and striking communication medium was chosen: the Federal Ministry for "Climate and Environmental Protection, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology" entered into a collaboration with ÖBB and WESTbahn to decorate a Railjet and a KISS multiple unit train in a special livery.
The "KlimaTicket" got the heavyweight "testimonials" on the rails in good time. These heavy "testimonial advertisements" therefore started their service in time to promote the action in Austria and neighbouring countries.
In addition, the model itself is a little "climate protector": in collaboration with "wald4leben", ROCO is planting a tree in the Raabs an der Thaya region of Lower Austria for every copy of the Klimajet sold in autumn 2022.
You can find information about "your" tree on the enclosed certificate.
Manufacturer Roco,
Austrian-born model railway brand Roco was founded in 1960 by Heinz Rössler. This manufacturer specialises in designing products derived from model railways.
Roco produces all types of railway equipment (wagons, carriages, locomotives) from different eras (I, II, III, IV, V or even VI). In general, the manufacturer designs products in various scales such as: HO: 1/87th; N: 1/160th and TT: 1/120th.
The brand is characterised by their eye for detail, and the robustness of their products, which are designed from metallic materials. Their products are as close to the real thing as possible, and for some (the Digitales Sound models) offer very well-reproduced sound effects.
The brand also offers railway accessories (spare parts, tyres, couplers, etc.) and digital modules (analogue controller, digital control unit, digital remote control, etc.).
