![]() The first four vehicles entered into revenue service in April 2015. The partnership (Hitachi Rail-Bombardier) signed the first contract for the design and production of the first 50 ETR1000 high speed trains in 2010. The train stems from a design oriented around sustainability: high performance with 85% of recyclable materials and 95% renewable materials. The use of light alloys for the vehicle bodyshell and for the furniture, beyond providing an optimal mass/power ratio, will allow enhanced material recovery with reduced impact on the environment at the end of life for the vehicles. The aerodynamic design and state-of-the-art solutions for energy saving, ensure unmatched operational efficiency, which have awarded the ETR1000 the record of the fastest train ever mass-produced in Europe - with the best acceleration, noise-reduction, less vibrations and low environmental impact. This train is designed to reach a top train speed of 400 km/h and it is suitable to operate on the European network (France, Germany, Spain, Austria, Switzerland, Netherlands and Belgium), overcoming infrastructure limitations, in particular the different power supplies and several types of signalling in operation across Europe. ![]() The ETR1000 is the flagship high speed train manufactured by the partnership of Hitachi Rail-Bombardier in Europe, involving company participation of 60% and 40% respectively, on behalf of the Italian State Railways (Trenitalia).
