Dutch NS New Sprinter (SNG) incredible quick brake power

This is the NS Sprinter New Generation (SNG), built by Spanish manufacturer CAF and introduced into passenger service starting in 2018. Unlike long-distance Intercity services, Sprinters operate short-distance commuter routes where stations are often just a few kilometers apart. To keep up with tight timetables, they do not just need fast acceleration, they need serious stopping power
