Alstom Euroduplex Very High Speed Train

Euroduplex is the third generation of TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse) very high speed trains being manufactured by Alstom. It is claimed to be the only double deck very high speed train which can meet the operational requirements of various European rail networks without any major changes in infrastructure. Euroduplex are suitable to operate on the French, German, Swiss and Luxembourg rail networks. The first set of trains was put into service in December 2011 when the French national railways SNCF inaugurated its Rhine-Rhone LGV high-speed rail line. Origins of Alstom’s very high speed trains The trains are a development over Alstom’s TGV Duplex trains. Alstom designed the TGV Duplex train sets in the late 1980s when the need for transporting more passengers was arising. In 1987, Alstom came up with the design of a Duplex train set to increase passenger capacity without increasing the length of the train. Alstom partnered with SNCF to develop the model. The first generation TGV Duplex has a capacity of 510 seats, a 40% increase from that of a single level train. The number of bogies was reduced to 13 from the conventional 16, to decrease the mass of the train. Vibrations and noise were also reduced marginally. The second generation Duplex, called DASYE (Duplex Asynchronous ERTMS), includes a new asynchronous drive system derived from the POS system in the single level TGV.
