The carriages were built by Bombardier and BN[citation needed] in Bruges, Belgium between 1995 and 1997.[1] Three types were constructed: 36 of an "A type" with 60 first class seats in [2+1] configuration, 106 of a "B type" with 80 second class seats in [2+2] formation, and 21 "BDx type" control cars with 58 second class seats and incorporating a driving cab.[1]

The designation "I" indicates that the vehicle is also suitable for international traffic, but they are mostly used for work inside Belgium; they have been used for international services including to Milan (Italy), and Chur and Brig (Switzerland) in the early 2000s.[2] The carriages have air conditioning and electronic displays, and a top operating speed of 200 km/h (120 mph) with good ride quality and low sound levels,[2] the bogies are an ANF type.[1]
They can operate in push pull mode with NMBS/SNCB Class 13 or Class 18 locomotives,[3] the units have also been used with two control cars and a mid-train locomotive.[4]
The I11 coaches are mainly used with double decker M7 Cars on the IC-01 Eupen - Ostend route[citation needed].
