Cisalpino, a joint venture between the Italian railway company Trenitalia and the Swiss Federal Railways, has chosen Alstom for the supply of high-speed tilting trains. Cisalpino has ordered 14 Pendolino trainsets for a total of more than EUR 300 million. They will join the existing fleet, which has been in service between Switzerland, Italy and Germany since 1996. The seven-car trainsets will have a top speed of 250 kph and a capacity of 430 passengers. The trainsets will be built at Alstom’s site in Savigliano, Italy. Delivery of the new trainsets will begin in May 2007, and the last one will be delivered in January 2008.
