Meet a daily world-record holder:
Velaro is the fastest series production trainset in the world,
having reached a speed of 403 km/h without modifications.
Whether it’s used as a high-class solution with outstanding riding comfort for businesspeople or a highly economical transportation system for large numbers of passengers, Velaro has long since moved beyond the concept stage.
Spain’s Velaro E, for example, has been providing passengers with reliable service from Madrid to Barcelona for years. It covers the 625 km route in less than 2½ hours.
The 8-car, 200 m long standard train configuration has a traction output rating of 8 MW. With punctuality exceeding 99% and traveling well over 500,000 kilometers a year, every train worldwide is delivering top performance.
