VITTAL, Suburban and Regional Trains With Maximum Accessibility
Speed, comfort, accessibility, low operation costs and environmentally- friendly performance are all features which define the newest product in the Talgo’s portfolio, VITTAL, its new electric train for suburban and regional operations. Like Talgo’s other trains, VITTAL is an adaptable product defined by its easy-access, which reduces stop times at stations and speeds up boarding and disembarking for passengers.
Effective short distance and inter-city rail services require passengers to board and disembark trains quickly in order to reduce the time spent at stops and stations to maximise operational efficiency. They also need sturdy vehicles which provide the flexibility to lower operating costs. This is why Talgo offers energy-efficient single-deck electric trains, which eliminate the need for passengers, including those with reduced mobility, to use stairs or steep slopes for boarding and alighting trains or for passing between cars.
Talgo’s Suburban and Regional EMU range offers railway operators from around the world flexible configuration options as well as high levels of comfort and reliability, which is based on Talgo’s years of experience of producing high-speed trains.
