FS Class ETR 600

The ETR 600 (Elettro Treno Rapido 600) is a class of high-speed trains with tilting technology built by Alstom Ferroviaria, which belong to the fourth generation of the Pendolino family.

In December 2008, the design was used for the first time in the regular service between Rome and Bari.

[1] From December 2008, Trenitalia introduced new brand names for categorising trains according to their maximum speed.

With the brand names, new color schemes were also introduced, which the FS presented on 13 November 2008.

The maximum axle load (loaded) is 16.5 t, so that the pulling mass of an empty train is 387 t and an occupied (all seats occupied) is 421 t. The units are approved for a speed of 250 km/h, although 280 km/h was reached during test drives.
