Velaro - the Siemens Platform for 250–350 km/h trainsPerformance
Operating speed: 350 km/h-> better than flying (Madrid – Barcelona in 2.5 hours)
Distributed Power Technology -> allows for 20% more passenger capacity -> for reliable adhesion even in bad weather and on 40 ‰ gradients -> for improved on-time reliability-> for saving energy due to regenerative braking on 50% of the axles
Core elements for interoperability, such as
TSI-compliance
Multi-system capability
Future-oriented ETCS capability
-> for optimized cross-border operation

TransportationSystems
Designed according to the latest and advanced TSI standards for mixed traffic operation and operation on dedicated lines
Body shell design
pressure-sealed cars for lower infrastructure cost (e.g. tunnels)
Proven cross-wind stability
Crash scenario Fire scenario
15 t Solid (Lorry)
Limited cab deformation!Survival area not deformed!
Able to operate for 15 minutes at this speed with a fire alarm!

High-Speed Trains: Trends @ Siemens
Velaro E is the state of the art technologyplatform for High-Speed trains world wide
Technology evolution instead of revolution.Focus on:
Cost reduction, Reliability, Maintainability, Availability
Innovation in interoperability (i.e. ETCS Level 2+3)
Innovation in localisation of systems and components
Standardisation on a component / subsystem level (e.g. MODTRAIN)
Global Sourcing and development of partnerships with subsuppliers
Application of state of the art communication technology in trains (Bluetooth, WLAN, …)
