	The '''ICE 3M''' (Class 406; M for ''multisystem'') was developed to operate international services under the four different [[railway electrification system]]s in use on Europe's main lines and with support for various [[train protection system]]s. The [[Deutsche Bahn]] (DB) ordered 13 of these units in 1994, the NS ([[Nederlandse Spoorwegen]]) four, making sure that the demands of the Dutch rail network are taken care of. Though these trains carry NS logos, the DB and NS trains together form a pool and therefore, the NS trains may operate DB services as well. In 2007 the train was licensed for operation in the Netherlands, Belgium, and France. On the French [[LGV Est]], some trains reach a regular top speed of {{Convert\|320\|km/h\|abbr=on}}.

⚫	Currently, those trains are used for cross-border runs between Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, and France. However, as of 2024 all of them are being gradually replaced with new Class 408 trainsets while being repurposed for domestic services within Germany.

	The 17 class 406 sets were built by the same consortium as the Class 403. They were first introduced in November 2000 on services between Cologne and Amsterdam. Since December 2002, they have also been operating three journeys daily each way between Frankfurt and Brussels (increased to four per day since December 2010).<ref name="MR201012p70" />		The 17 class 406 sets were built by the same consortium as the Class 403.

	The linear eddy current brake, which is required for higher speeds, cannot yet be used, because the magnetic field would rip off the magnetic covers of some trackside equipment; those covers will have to be replaced by non-magnetic ones according to the EU [[Technical Specifications for Interoperability]] for international rail traffic in Europe.

	As in Belgium, licensing procedures for France took five years to be completed. Trial runs were completed in late 2005 and the same two problems were encountered as in Belgium: loose gravel damage and possible side-effects of the brakes. ICE 3Ms were allowed on the [[LGV Est]] and started service there on 20 June 2007, mixed with [[TGV]]s. Since December 2007, DB operates ICE 3M trains from [[Frankfurt (Main) Hauptbahnhof\|Frankfurt central station]] to [[Gare de l'Est\|Paris Est]], initially with five daily runs between both cities. The six trains for running into France (designated '''ICE-3 MF''', indicating ''multisystem France'') were modified at [[Bombardier, Hennigsdorf\|Bombardier's Hennigsdorf plant]] and were extensively tested on Siemens' [[Test- and Validationcenter Wegberg-Wildenrath\|test site in Wegberg-Wildenrath]] before the modified trains re-entered commercial service.

	Despite this, the "French" subset of six class 406 trains have suffered from reliability problems, so that some Paris–Frankfurt services are operated instead by French TGVs (currently [[Euroduplex\|TGV 2N2 'Euroduplex']] as of 2015) under the "Alleo" joint venture between DB and SNCF.<ref name="MR201012p70" />		As in Belgium, licensing procedures for France took five years to be completed.

	The design goal of the ICE 3 (Class 403) was to create a higher-powered, lighter train than its predecessors such as the [[ICE 2]] and the [[ICE 1]]. This was achieved by distributing its 16 [[traction motor]]s underneath the whole train, thus ICE 3 trains are [[Electric multiple unit]]s (EMUs). The train is certified for {{Convert\|330\|km/h\|mph\|abbr=on}} and has reached {{Convert\|368\|km/h\|abbr=on}} on trial runs. On regular [[Intercity-Express]] services they run at up to {{Convert\|300\|km/h\|abbr=on}}, the maximum design speed of German high-speed lines.

	On 11 April 2017, Deutsche Bahn announced the modernisation programme called ''ICE 3 Redesign'' for its 66-unit ICE 3 fleet to be completed by the end of 2020.<ref>{{cite web\|url=https://inside.bahn.de/ice-3-redesign/ \| title=ICE 3 Redesign: Die Anpassungen im Überblick \| date=2017-04-11}}</ref> The renovation involves replacing the seats, tables, and floor coverings. The six-seat compartment rooms are eliminated from the second class section to increase the number of seats and add more luggage compartments. In addition, the number of disability seating has been increased to two; however, no integrated wheelchair lift has been installed, and no disability seating is offered in the first-class section. The seats in some Bordrestaurant have been converted to the red bench seating while Bordbistro receives the new stand tables. The cabin illumination is provided by [[LED lamp]]s, providing more illumination, while the reading lamps are eliminated. The seat reservation panels are moved from the walls above the windows to the seat headrests per EU directive on accessibilities: the new panel has bigger and more visible white lettering and Braille. The yellow LCD information monitors in the antechambers are replaced with larger full-colour [[LED display]]s, showing the map, train number, speed, and other pertinent information. The new smaller displays are attached to the ceiling above the aisle throughout the cabins.

	The '''ICE 3M''' (Class 406; M for ''multisystem'') was developed to operate international services under the four different [[railway electrification system]]s in use on Europe's main lines and with support for various [[train protection system]]s. The [[Deutsche Bahn]] (DB) ordered 13 of these units in 1994, the NS ([[Nederlandse Spoorwegen]]) four, making sure that the demands of the Dutch rail network are taken care of. Though these trains carry NS logos, the DB and NS trains together form a pool and therefore, the NS trains may operate DB services as well. In 2007 the train was licensed for operation in the Netherlands~~, Belgium, and France. Currently, those trains are used for cross-border runs between Netherlands, Germany~~, Belgium, and France. On the French [[LGV Est]], some trains reach a regular top speed of {{Convert\|320\|km/h\|abbr=on}}.

			Currently, those trains are used for cross-border runs between Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, and France. However, as of 2024 all of them are being gradually replaced with new Class 408 trainsets while being repurposed for domestic services within Germany.

	The 17 class 406 sets were built by the same consortium as the Class 403. They were first introduced in November 2000 on services between Cologne and Amsterdam. Since December 2002, they have also been operating three journeys daily each way between Frankfurt and Brussels (increased to four per day since December 2010).<ref name="MR201012p70" />		The 17 class 406 sets were built by the same consortium as the Class 403.
