IV. DB product colors in the period of 1. Grade IC APMZ 121 large capacity wagon. The pioneering concept of IC 79 was introduced by Bundesbahn at the beginning of the 1979 summer tariff with each class slogan every hour. This new approach was needed because at that time, due to the continuous decrease in the number of passengers, the first -class intercity trains could not be operated economically. With the introduction of the second wagon class, the frequency was also removed from the hourly rhythm. The reduction in travel times was achieved by improveing ​​many routes and increasing maximum speeds. In order to save even more time, these accelerated trains no longer carry luggage and mail wagons and were divided into 1st grade, dinner wagon and 2nd grade blocks for quick transmissions at central stations. Following the success of the concept, the IC network was increased from four lines to five in 1985. IC continues to be an important backbone of long -distance railway travel even today.
