8 AEROACOUSTIC EVALUATION …wind tunnel tests PowerFlow calculations compare with ….. Possible to predict only by calculations

9 AEROACOUSTIC EVALUATION

10 –Weight reduction ( g.e : bodyshell stucture in Alu Light Alloy and Composite) –Aerodynamic performance –Traction Equipment Efficiency ENERGY CONSUMPTION But also Train Configuration Articulated Train vs. Conventional Train –Overall weight reduction: more than 10% weigth reduction (Less Traction Power installed for the same specific power and for the same train length) – Aerodinamic drag optimisation : less bogies for the same train length.
