The CRRC DDEMU2 or WESTbahn Class 4100 is a bi-level electric multiple unit (EMU) built by CRRC Zhuzhou Locomotive Co., Ltd. (CRRC ZELC) for Austrian railway company WESTbahn Management GmbH.

CRRC ZELC has bid for a contract to supply a complete fleet of trains to WESTbahn, in order to replace its fleet of Stadler KISS 1 and KISS 2 which was sold to DB Fernverkehr to complete its modernization of the Intercity rolling stock pool.

But it has later announced that WESTbahn chooses Stadler to supply and maintenance a fleet of 15 6-car KISS 3 double decker EMUs, which is the third contract so far the manufacturer has signed with the railway company.
