Frecciarossa 1000 makes InnoTrans world premiere

Listen to this article

Europe’s fastest train, the Frecciarossa 1000, has premiered at InnoTrans 2014 following years of build up from manufacturers AnsaldoBreda and Bombardier.

The eight-car electric-multiple unit (EMU), which is expected to be put into service on the Rome-Milan corridor by Trenitalia in 2015, is certified for speeds up to 360 km/h but is capable of 400 km/h running.

Based on the V300 Zefiro platform, the Frecciarossa 1000 made its first appearance at InnoTrans in 2010 where Bombardier and AnsaldoBreda presented a miniature model of their new high-speed concept.
