Our heroes in detail
Egypt’s landscape is as diverse as the country itself. Bustling cities alternate with fertile expanses and vast deserts. To travel at high speed in such a varied terrain offers a particular challenge. The Velaro for Egypt is ready to take it on. Built to withstand the highest temperatures and different types of sand, it ventures where no high-speed train has gone before – connecting the north of the country with the south, the east with the west and the Red Sea with the Mediterranean. This gives Egypt a sustainable economic boost while cutting travel time in half.
The 21st century is bringing on rapid change – and new approaches to advance mobility are needed. This is a job for our Velaro Novo. With the help of numerous innovations, it ushers in a new era of high-speed transport. Fast, smart and full of ideas: it offers the right solution for any situation, no matter how challenging it is. Its mission: to help operators worldwide master the future of high-speed transport.
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time – and a modal shift from road to rail is one way to fight it. But how can this be achieved quickly? The Velaro MS is built precisely for this challenge. Breathtakingly fast as well as heroically efficient and environmentally compatible: it is a key pillar of sustainable high-speed transport. Its mission: to hasten this modal shift and strengthen rail transport within Germany.
The demands placed on modern high-speed transport are constantly growing. Passengers want more comfort and more entertainment. This is a task for Velaro Turkey. It transforms every journey into an extraordinary experience thanks to modern communication systems and numerous customer-specific solutions. One such solution is the spacious onboard bistro area designed according to Turkish standards. Its mission: to provide passengers with a modern, individualized travel experience at the highest level.
What to do when different routes also involve different passenger volumes and requirements: Develop a separate train for each route? Or is there one that adapts perfectly to different demands? There is: the ICE 4. Whether it's a 7-, 12- or 14-car train - as The Amazing Transformer, he faces the different challenges. And this shape-shifter never loses sight of its real mission: to get passengers to their destination in comfort.
Conquering the sea with a train – some things seem impossible. But they only seem impossible until someone arrives who masters them. There is someone who creates extraordinary connections even 40 meters below the seabed: the Eurostar e320. As our Connexion Challenger, he not only connects Great Britain with mainland Europe, but also comfort with modernity and passengers with travel experiences in a class of their own.
In a world that is becoming increasingly agile and interconnected, time is an important resource. And a decisive competitive factor for train operators. Fortunately, there is one that is consistently taking up the fight against time-wasters: Velaro E, aka The Spanish Speedster. With its availability of nearly 100%, it is not even impressed by the Spanish heat. It also saves 29,000 tons of CO2 per year and is a convenient alternative to air travel between Barcelona and Madrid for travelers.
Total commitment to reliable high-speed transportation
Our high-speed heroes stand for …
… absolute reliability
Whether it’s heat, dust, or freezing cold: our high-speed trains defy climatic conditions and are always ready to give their all. The proof is in their daily performance. What’s more, our employees also ensure that your high-speed trains can be promptly put into operation.
... groundbreaking sustainability
Our high-speed trains reflect a total commitment to the present while thinking ahead to the future. For us, innovations are not just an end in themselves but have very practical implications – such as a significant reduction in energy consumption and maintenance costs.
… extraordinary ingenuity
Instead of being satisfied with the status quo, we’re always finding ways to improve our trains using future-driven technologies. For example, we were able to reduce the Velaro Novo’s total energy consumption by 30 percent by focusing on innovations in aerodynamics.Â
… years of experience
Our high-speed trains are based on knowledge gained from several billion operating kilometers. Our many years of experience in daily operations contribute to the ongoing optimization of our trains and platforms. And we’re always adding new customers and areas of application.
