Pendolino (VR)

Among the honorable members of Italian railways, Pendolino is another modern tilting train that operates not only within the confines of the pasta country, but is also widely used worldwide. The concept of tilting trains was conceived by various railway operators who wanted to increase the speed of regular trains without building a parallel high-speed railway network.

A tilting technology allows upgraded trains to pass the curves smoothly without slowing down or causing travel discomfort for passengers along the route. In addition to traveling at 250 kph (217 mph in equivalent), these express trains also offer high-quality onboard service made by Alstom Ferroviaria. Additionally, all Pendolino train coaches feature comfortable seats, in-seat power outlets, information monitors, and WiFi in order to ensure a comfortable journey.
