Velaro® - top performance for high speed
High speed - a key factor to economic success and quality of life across entire regions. But Velaro®'s ten-year technological edge did not come overnight. The revolutionary move away from all-traction equipment concentrated in a power car operating in push-pull mode, to a distributed traction arrangement, was made by Siemens in the 1990s. As a result, the first Velaro trainset – the ICE 3® – went into service in time for Expo 2000, and developments have continued ever since. You can check out the successes for yourself by riding on a Velaro in Spain, Russia or China.Be it a high-class solution for businesspeople, a trainset with outstanding riding comfort, or a very economical transportation system for large numbers of passengers: Today, you have an innovative high-speed trainset at your disposal that is way ahead of the rest.
