V300ZEFIRO

The V300ZEFIRO offers unprecedented capacity and comfort levels in the high speed segment. Developed in conjunction with a strategic partner, the V300ZEFIRO is a train for tomorrow’s world – a train that knows no frontiers thanks to multi-voltage technology and TSI compliance. Such built-in interoperability means the V300ZEFIRO can operate in up to eight European high-speed rail networks, e.g. France, Germany and the Netherlands. In September 2010 Trenitalia ordered 50 V300ZEFIRO trains.
