Résumé


Over recent years, the level of satisfaction among train passengers has continually increased thanks to new attractions offered by high speed trains. Attractive travel times and additional services in the trains are designed to
increase the competitiveness of the rail. Building on experience with the trains of the ICE series that were developed by a consortium, Siemens has been able to establish the Velaro platform at a worldwide level with trains for Spain, China and Russia.
In addition to the high speed trains for upgraded lines, it can make perfect sense to operate passenger coaches.
