In 2008, the board of directors of the Belgian national railway company NMBS decided to purchase 305 electric multiple units of the "Desiro ML" type from Siemens. With a value of 1.291 billion euros, this is the largest investment file ever for the NMBS. The ordered carriages have a total of 85,400 seats and were delivered between the spring of 2011 and the end of 2016, at a rate of five to eight sets per month.
The train set was developed by Siemens Mobility from the Desiro MainLine intended for the north western Germany region. Siemens Mobility built 105 trainsets, with the remaining 200 sets built by Bombardier Transportation at their Brugge facilities.
During the open days of the NMBS workshops over five weekends from September 24 to October 23, 2011, the trainsets were officially presented to the public.
On 1 October 2013, the NMBS requested guarantees from Siemens in response to the worldwide announced personnel adjustments of the German multinational and whether this would have any consequences for the delivery and follow-up of 305 trains to the NMBS as well as the quality follow-up of 120 locomotives already delivered.
On March 19, 2015, the trainsets 08594 and 08595 were the last of a total of 305 trainsets delivered to NMBS by Siemens Mobility.
