The future of high speed train travel
Re-introducing sleeper trains on the European continent for the 21st century. Taking advantage of the lessons from the airline industry and the EU reforms to redesign both the trains and service.
Introducing CPDT Trains
Current high-speed trains are either the older Push-Pull design (TGV’s), or the more modern EMU’s, electric multiple unit (ICE, Shinkansen,…). Both have their merits, but the aim is to construct a hybrid train. Combining the power car concept of the Push-Pull trains, along with the increased traction and operational capability of the EMU design.
Hence the CPDT or Concentrated Power Distributed Traction design.
