  1. Electric

    Each train is powered by a pair of body-mounted Parizzi MTA-6/550 three-phase asynchronous traction motors, which drive the inner axle of each motor bogie via a cardan shaft. The roof of the centre trailer car of each unit houses two pantographs, and each motor car has an underfloor-mounted traction converter, as well as a second convertor to provide auxiliary power for on-board systems at 380V, 50Hz ac. The trains have a top speed of 220km/h (135mph), and their tilting capability gives the potential for 30% higher speeds through curves, which RENFE calculated would give an initial 18 minute saving on the previous journey time of just over three hours 50 minutes.
