L’AGV, au service de l’écologie

The AGV

� Operation cost

� Power consumption

� Investment per seat

� Environmental impact

� Modularity / Capacity

� Speed

� Comfort

� Availability

Built on Alstom’s expertise…

To offer more…

� Articulated train

� Weight optimisation

� Safety

…and less

Based on an articulated architecture

Bogies positioned between the cars of the train

Articulated architecture

Classical architecture

• Safety: trainset rigidity

• Comfort: less noise and vibrations

Based on distributed power

Traction systems distributed below floors of cars

Traction system

• 20% more space for passengers

• Power of the train maintained independently to the number of cars

Powered by synchronous Permanent Magnet Motors

A Power/Weight ratio of 22.6 kW per ton for a 350 kph train

• Motor’s Power/Weight ratio: more than 1 kW/kg

• Efficiency ratio: 98%Permanent magnet motor rotor

LIFE CYCLE Less energy consumption per seat :- 8 time less than automobile- 15 time less than aircraft- 3 time less than bus

Source : UNIFE

AGV : a product’s environmentally committed approach

Designed with environmental concerns in mind

Reducing impact on the environment

Up to 9 MW of power feedback into the other trains or into the grid Able to produce its own electricity

70 tonnes less and less bogies than competitor models

15% reduction in energy consumption15% reduction in maintenance costs

98% of easily recyclable materials Aluminium, steel, copper and glass

Aero-acoustics to reduce noise Same noise at 360 kph than competitors at 300 kph

Approx 15% less Energy Consumption than direct competitors thanks to :

� Lower weight (70 tons less)

� Optimisation of the use of regenerative brake (less friction brake use)

� 25% less bogies (big impact on aerodynamic drag)

� Higher efficiency of traction chain (efficiency PMM 0.96)

� Intensive work on aerodynamic shapes (nose, bogie fairing, gangways…)

Designed for Energy Saving

Aero acoustics : designed to reduce aerodynamic noise

� No vortex on pillar

� Bogie vortex does not go over passengercar windows
