FRECCIAROSSA 1000 – Let’s face it: to surprise, surprise. Even those arriving by train, in our case Milano Centrale, prepared to novelty. In fact the train is to stun beauty. Even those who do not harbor an unbridled passion for this particular mode of transport, can not turn his head in front of the Frecciarossa 1000, the new high-speed train that the State Railways (FS) have unveiled yesterday in the inaugural trip Milan-Rome . Classic distance traveled in two hours and 55 minutes: from Milan Central at 13.30, arriving at Roma Termini at 16.25. Looking ahead, another blow to the competition of plane, bus and car. Another step forward for the railway industry.
On board the new train, along with the Head of State, Sergio Matterella, there are ministers and Graziano Delrio Dario Franceschini, CEO of Fs, Michele Mario Elia, President of Fs, Marcello Messori, the CEO. Finmeccanica, Mauro Moretti, the CEO. Trenitalia, Vincenzo Soprano, the CEO. of RFI, Maurizio Gentile.
Designed for a maximum speed of 400 kilometers per hour, the Frecciarossa 1000 will be admitted to the inclusion in service on the network for national Av 300 miles an hour, but the Fs are hoping to soon get all authorizations to arrive at a commercial speed of 350 km now. The Fs have jumped at the Expo, with its global showcase to launch this train which aims to capture the interest and preferences of travelers, Italians and foreigners. Fruit of the Bertone design and the joint work of the designers of AnsaldoBreda and Bombardier, the Frecciarossa 1000, named after Pietro Mennea, unforgettable champion of athletics Italian, is now in the railway emblem of technological and stylistic made in Italy: every its quality points to the top. The result of an investment of 1.6 billion euro by Trenitalia, the Frecciarossa 1000 is fast, comfortable, environmentally friendly, fully interoperable, that is capable of traveling on all high-speed lines of the European Union and shorten increasingly distances , in Italy and in Europe. The Frecciarossa 1000, in summary, represents the new frontier of the European railway industry and in the field of high-speed trains. A pride for Fs and a pride for the country. The trains of the 1000 series are in fact built in Italy in the factories of Bombardier and AnsaldoBreda.
A total of 50 new Frecciarossa 1000 which will come gradually in service on the Italian network. From 14 June 2015, with the introduction of the summer schedule, six convoys of the new series of high-speed trains will begin their service, cost the same as the current ones. Will conduct eight non-stop daily flights between Rome and Milan: seven of these have as departure or destination Turin, four instead Naples. The connections made with the new train will increase gradually: in September 2015 will become 14 while in December, with the winter time, will rise to 22.
A striking feature of this train is that the vibrations are almost non-existent , by virtue of the particular suspensions of which are equipped with the trolleys. In Frecciarossa 1000 every detail has been taken care of with a particular regard to the comfort and quality of travel: ease of access to all spaces, width of corridors, ergonomic seats, soundproofing, LED lights, climate control, accessibility to persons with reduced mobility, on-board monitor, sockets for pc, free wi-fi.
In fact in 2009, when Trenitalia banished the tender for the supply of 50 high-speed trains, was not content with what already offered on the market, but he wanted to raise the bar to performance and quality standards ever touched. In a few years before that dream has become a concrete project and then a reality. A detail that will interest fans of railway engineering: the Frecciarossa 1000 is distinguished by its 16 powerful engines, distributed on all eight carriages, which make it a train to distributed traction, able to exploit more and better adherence to the tracks. Equipped with special carriages, which give it a structure that outweighs always adequately the centrifugal forces of high speed, the Frecciarossa 1000 offers good mass / power, obtained thanks to the special light alloys used for vehicle bodies and furniture . Every single detail, from the profile of the head, has been designed and refined to reduce drag, always ensuring safety and comfort for drivers and passengers.
