フランス国鉄（ＳＮＣＦ）と鉄道車両メーカーのアルストムはこのほど、次世代の２階建て高速列車「ＴＧＶ Ｍ」の完成品を初めてお披露目しました
French National Railways (SNCF) and railway vehicle manufacturer Alstom recently unveiled the finished product of the next-generation double-decker high-speed train ”TGV M” for the first time.
Featuring a longer, more aerodynamic nose, the vehicle is perfect for driving through the French countryside.
Alstom dubbed the new vehicle ”Future TGV”
It is scheduled to be introduced on actual routes from 2024.
TGV is one of the world’s most famous high-speed rail brands
Since the early 1980s, it has been a familiar means of transportation when traveling around Europe.
In 2018, SNCF, which operates the TGV, placed an order for 100 trainsets of TGV M for 2.7 billion euros (approximately 390 billion yen at the current rate).
An additional 15 trains were ordered in August 2010.
Most of the trains are scheduled to operate within France, but according to Alstom, 15 trains are expected to operate as international trains.
