134 cars were leased to a US investor and leased back. The SNB has accrued more than €157 million ($205 million) to hedge potential losses from cross-border business.
In the end of 2011 and beginning of 2012 the SNB began the upgrading of 1006 and 1016 as a sample exercise. They were provided with a new drive technology and new software such as the Flexitys. The only mutually detachable vehicles are distinguished by new car numbers 1506 and 1516. After completion of the first two the BVG ordered the upgrading of all other cars of the GT6N and GT6N-ZR cars.
Identically to 1506 and 1516 the first 77 cars were provided with a new drive technology and new software and upgraded to type GTU trains in the years 2012 - 2016. All GTU trains got increased car numbers by +500. The new car numbers are 1502 - 1605 (with gaps).
The rest of the GT6N and all of the GT6N-ZR got a new on-board-unit instead, upgrading them to type GTO and GTZO in the years 2016 - 2017. Their numbers were increased by +200. The new car numbers are 1201 - 1263 (with gaps) for the GTO and 2201 - 2245 for the GTZO.
