Unmatched experience and technology leader TGV Alstom experiences AGV VHST articulated & distributed traction 220 mph - 360 kph VHST articulated 200 mph - 320 kph Euroduplex 681 Very High Speed Trains 432 High Speed Trains 20 Countries 30 Years commercial service 15+ borders Pendolino New Pendolino VHST double deck 200 mph - 320 kph HST class 1 150 mph - 250 kph HST tilting 150 mph - 250 kph 2
Market demands Different needs of High Speed Operators Market is growing - Existing ones are growing and maturing - New markets emerge Different customer needs - Public operators in mature markets capacity & operation costs - Public operators starting VHST operation attract passengers from plane/car - Private operators differentiators & operation costs Trains can be the product or a piece in the complete system km 40,000 30,000 20,000 10,000 Development of the world high speed network 0 1964 1974 1984 1994 2004 2014 Source : UIC 2010 2024 To be a global player you need a wide portfolio 3
Context conditions Different needs of Infrastructure VHS networks in operation: - UIC adopters (as Europe): standard gauges, interoperability & crossborder - Asia: wide loading gauge on UIC track, high platform, narrow tunnels (Japan) Newcomers: - Russia: wide loading gauge on 1520 track, winterization, GOST, high platform - USA, Brazil, Australia: which will be the needs? Upgraded lines or combined operation on HSL and conventional line: - Curves and speed restrictions, time limits ( horaire cadencé ) tilting Environment: Hard winter, high temperatures, sand, humidity 4
Articulated architecture Coupling consistency anti-roll Stability in de-railment Conventional Articulated Articulated joint Bogies under gangway Less bogies Lighter structure Quasi static gangway Better dynamic comfort Less noise Better aerodynamics (bogies are 40% prev. mainten.) Lower weight (70 ton) MORE SAFETY MORE COMFORT LOWER MAINTENANCE COSTS LESS ENERGY CONSUMPTION OPERATION COSTS & SUSTAINABILITY Articulated architecture Conventional architecture 12 bogies 200 m 16 bogies 5
Pendolino tilting Non-tilting train Cant/roll compensation Context Technology Rolling stock Trends Tilting ALSTOM s tilting technology TILTRONIXTM: Speed gain in curve up to 30% Track friendly bogies Optimal passenger comfort Commercial speed 150 mph (250 kph) Characteristics: - Tilt rotation centre at passenger s belly height - Predictive synchronisation yaw and tilt - Fully controlled tilt speed and transition - Self centring intrinsic safety -1º +8º Roll/Tilt degrees 0,8 m/s 2 perceived +1,5º 2 m/s 2 at track level SBB Test Campaign 2009-215 test passengers, 50% susceptible for kinetosis Motion sickness on tilting trains FASEB - Dept. of Neurology Zurich University Hospital and Dept. of Neurology, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, NY, USA Demonstrated comfort performance Running faster: Same comfort than non-tilt / Less sickness than non-tilt 6
Wide experience & constant research Return of experience More than 1100 HS/VHS Trains Over 1,5 billion miles cumulated in VHST Maintainers of VHST for more than 20 years Research, develop and test! 20 MW 357,16 mph SAFETY driven by sufficient margin between research tests and commercial operation World records: just consequences of research - 700 km of test runs at speed above 310 mph - 2000 km of test above 250 mph - April 2007: 357,16 mph / 574,8 kph 600 500 400 300 200 100 0 Max. speed test Max. commercial speed 1960 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010 7
VHST breakthrough: AGV Conceived for international operation at VHS Fully interoperable and crossborder 70 tons less than main market products 10% energy saving vs conventional architecture Same noise at 360kph than others at 300kph 15% reduction in maintenance costs Lower investment/seat AGV375 3kV / 25 kv 300 kph NTV already in commercial service 25 trains, 30 years maintenance Enhanced aerodynamics Permanent Magnet Motor Lower environmental impact Articulated architecture 8
VHST high capacity: Euroduplex Same comfort as single deck VHST From 20 to 40% more capacity 14 passenger saloons Wide flexibility to adapt interior to all passengers Luggage rack along passenger areas PRM needs and TSI regulation considered Accessibility Trolleys, large suitcases, wheelchairs Level access from 550 mm platform The largest access doors (1025 mm) Embedded elevating platform for PRM 9
HST versatility: Pendolino Different operation: intercity, regional Multiple power supplies Service speed: 200-250 kph Interoperability (TSI) & crossborder Modular design & flexibility: one unique platform for high speed/tilting, narrow/std/wide gauges, 1435/1520/1668 track, winterized & GOST version, trainsets from 3 to 11 cars in commercial service Unique High Speed tilting - Maximum tilt & speed gain admitted by tracks - Up to 20 to 30% speed gains - Up to 150 mph / 250 kph travel speeds - Predictive Tiltronix, unbeatable comfort More than 100 trains sold in non-tilting version More than 300 tilting high speed trains sold 10
Market needs Differentiation from other modes Comfort New comers Differentiation from competitors Design & style Single operation Capacity Travel time Reliability Maximize single deck Join club of double deck Safety Substainability Certification Accessibility Mature Onboard services Information technologies Open competition Operation costs Maintenability Access charges Energy 11
