Before leaving, the train was officially presented to
authorities and media in Savigliano. The New PENDOLINO, designed
by Giugiaro, was entirely manufactured in Transport’s
Savigliano and Sesto sites. As such, it was a special day for all
the employees who worked and the project and ensured that the
deadlines were respected.

This is the first of 26 trains ordered by Trenitalia and
Cisalpino in 2004, and which will be running by the end of 2006
in Italy and the beginning of 2007 in Switzerland.

To date, over 400 PENDOLINO trains are in circulation around
the world, covering more than 200 million kilometres in China,
Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Slovenia,
Spain, Switzerland, and the UK.

The New PENDOLINO is the 4th generation of tilting technology
“made in Italy” since its development in the 1970s.
ALSTOM’s unique technology, which is particularly suited
for windy tracks, enables high-speed trains to run on existing
railway lines, reducing journey time by 15% to 30%.
