IEMENS INTRODUCES THE MODULAR VENTURIO
Siemens has developed a new type of train for inter-city and inter-regional
passenger services called Venturio. The main feature of this train is its fully modular
design, i.e.* the train is built using modules. It is known that a module is a part having a
standard shape and size, used in building, making furniture or even vehicles.
The new Venturio train family is based on a single modular platform. It has been
designed to incorporate tilting equipment and will operate at speeds of between 160 km/h
and 250 km/h in diesel-electric or emu form.
The length of the trains is likely to vary between three and seven (or even nine) cars.
The units will be able to operate on lines electrified at 25 kV ac, or 15 kV ac, or 3 kV dc.
They can also be built as multi-system versions.
The modularity of the design extends to the interior furnishing which can include
business facilities, upgraded seats and passenger information systems. The seats will
include air conditioning for increased passenger comfort during the journey.
All the trains will be supplied with standardized spare parts. Siemens says that
modularity combined with the use of proven design technology will ensure low
maintenance costs. Testing of the trains will be carried out at the manufacturer’s own test
center at Wildenrath, Germany.
Note:* i.e. – id est, that is – то есть.
