Alstom is a world leader in #highspeed trains, and none of our trains are more exciting than Italy’s famous AGV. This episode of ‘Building The Ultimate’ was broadcast on UK’s Channel 5 on 19 October 2020, exploring the engineering secrets that allow Italo’s AGV to shuttle over 450 people between 21 Italian cities at a top speed of 300 kilometres per hour. “From electric motors, each one more powerful than a Formula 1 race car, to reactive roof-mounted pantographs that channel 25,000 volts from overhead cables, this episode reveals the innovative technologies that make the AGV the ultimate super train.” http://ow.ly/ubDz50BXdRu
