Tailored to needs
With the Avelia range, operators and passengers have the train that precisely matches their requirements, all supported by long-standing experience and proven technology. Avelia high-speed trains can be adapted to different track gauges, power supplies, car body widths and passenger capacities, with a full choice of interiors, seat pitches and ambiances.
Avelia trains are, of course, compliant with local and international regulations (TSI). When running in Europe, trains have embedded ERTMS signalling technology and can work on four different traction power voltages. -

The benefits of Tiltronix™
One of Avelia Stream and Avelia Liberty’s most characteristic features, Tiltronix (as an option), which allows trains to tilt into a bend up to 8 degrees. Tilting technology enables 30% higher speeds round bends, resulting in shorter journey times on existing conventional networks, with a minimum of new investment in the infrastructure. Tilting technology also reduces energy losses, as less braking is required before bends.
Lower cost per passenger
With the articulated architecture requiring fewer bogies, the train is lighter. Energy consumption per train is thus lower, reducing operating costs.
With a keen eye on the longer term, Alstom’s engineers designed Avelia trains to be cheaper to own throughout their life cycle. Maintenance factors are incorporated at the design phase of the trains to ensure future reliability and ease of maintenance. For example, maintenance costs of our new generation high-speed trains are reduced by 30%, thanks to tele-diagnostic and predictive maintenance.
