AGV – The first articulated train with distributedpower From TGV to AGV

From single deck TGV (660 ft) TGV : 13 bogies9600 kW 200 mph430 tons loaded

377 passengers (TGV-R

To AGV (660 ft) AGV 11 : 12 bogies9000 kW 220 mph410 tons Loaded

420 to 460 passengers

More capacity ( at same train length)Optimised operation costs (power, maintenance)Very high availabilityCommon block

INNOTRANS – Berlin September 2008- P 5

Designed with environmental concerns in mind

Reducing impact on the environment

Up to 8 MW of power feedback into the grid Able to produce its own electricity

70 tonnes less than competitor models 15% reduction in energy consumption

98% of easily recyclable materials Aluminium, steel, copper and glass

Aero-acoustics to reduce noise Same noise at 225 mph than competitors at 187 mph
