Abstract :
Operators in railway Industry have to cope with an heterogenic network, with different gauges and supply systems. For being able to run on these tracks, Operators require different types of trains, each one adapted to the specific characteristics of the line. This fact prevents scale-economies to be applied to the sector, managing in a less efficient way peak and valley demands as well as maintenance tasks. Talgo Hybrid Train is the perfect and long-time demanded solution for this problem. It can run on both electrified and non-electrified lines, and within electrified lines both AC and DC supply is supported. Furthermore propulsion bogies have been designed to allow dynamic gauge change. Talgo Hybrid Train is an all-track train that provides maximum interoperability, eliminating railway barriers since one train is enough to operate on almost any line.
