The new Velaro Novo from Siemens is a systematic further development of the three preceding generations of Velaros. Numerous innovations in details make the new high-speed train a unique, highly efficient concept that consumes 30 percent less energy and substantially reduces investment and maintenance costs while at the same time providing a ten-percent increase in capacity. With its empty tube concept and numerous configuration possibilities, the Velaro Novo is futureproof and can be flexibly adapted to meet new design concepts and operator needs even after years in operation.
