Alstom Shown NTV’s Pendolino Trains

The exterior design of Italo’s new Pendolinos has been shown by Alstom.

Italian operator NTV has ordered eight Pendolino train sets to add to its fleet of 25 high-speed AGV units.

An “evolution” of the Pendolino design, the new seven-car trains are 187 metres long and maximum operating speed is 250 km/h. Unlike previous generations of Pendolino trains, NTV’s fleet will be TSI compliant.

The order includes a 20-year maintenance agreement with Alstom, which will be delivered from the manufacturer’s facility in Nola.

The trains, which will operate on both Italy’s high-speed and conventional rail network, will deliver in late 2017 and enter service in early 2018.
