Three fully assembled Siemens high-speed Velaro D trains at the testing
center in Wegberg-Wildenrath (PCW).
To date, the new train for German operator Deutsche Bahn has covered
over 250,000 kilometers in test and licensing runs. Siemens is one of
the world's leading manufacturers of high-speed trains. Velaro is one of
the most reliable trains in all the countries in which it is deployed
(26 trains in operation in Spain, 240 in China, eight in Russia, with
eight more under construction). Velaro trains have already traveled over
150 million operational kilometers without a significant technical
failure. In Spain and Russia, Siemens is also responsible for Velaro
maintenance.
