- W319497404 abstract "The introduction of a new generation high-speed train, the Automotrice a Grande Vitesse (AGV) will set a new standard for high speed travel. This article describes the development and testing of the AGV. The company building the train, Alstom, has invested around £60m of its own money in the AVG project, which is unusual since new trains traditionally are ordered by a train operator first and then built. For Alstom, the financial gamble appears to have paid off. NTV, the private Italian train operator, has already ordered 25 trainsets for delivery in 2010 and has options on a further 10. The train has a top speed of 360kph, meaning that it will be able to travel more than 1,000km in just three hours. The train is based on an articulated architecture with bogies and axles positioned between carriages, which eliminates noise and vibration. The main innovation on the AGV involves the combination of articulation technology and a distributed drive system. The train's motors are located under the floor of the carriages, rather than concentrating them in locomotives at the front and back of the train. The removal of locomotives increases the passenger capacity by up to 20%. The AGV consumes less energy than other trains, which in turn reduces pollution. The AGV only emits 2.2 grams of carbon dioxide per passenger km. After high-speed tests in which the train reached 364kph, the prototype train underwent further trials, including those designed to test its ability to run on routes with different voltages. The train is then expected to undergo further trials on the Italian rail network to obtain final certification for delivery in 2010. Alstom has set a target of selling 400 AGV trainsets over the next 10 years." @default.
