ALSTOM Very High Speed Trains
APTA Conference, Philadelphia – World Class Equipment Panel – June 4th, 2013 - Page 5
The first train in the world to combine an articulated architecture with distributed power Common bogie between adjacent cars with mechanical coupling between cars Improved comfort and safety, advanced CEM technology in the front end Reduced number of axles, reduced weight, reduced drag Reduced operating and maintenance costs
Minimum trip time and operating costs with maximum safety and comfort
AGV : Focused on the Passenger Experience
APTA Conference, Philadelphia – World Class Equipment Panel – June 4th, 2013 - Page 6
TGV : the distributed power
The only very high speed double deck train in the world able to operate in multiple units 20% more capacity than very high speed single deck trains Articulated train set concentrated power (push/pull with power end cars) Adapted to blended service with low platform access Increased accessibility with wide gangways and doors
Minimum trip time and maximum revenues with maximum safety
TGV DUPLEX : Designed to Maximize Capacity
