00:00The ATR1000 is the fastest train that we have in Europe.
00:13The current fleet of ATR1000 is approximately 85 trains.
00:17Most of them, more than 50, are operating in Italy
00:20and 5 are working between Milan and Paris.
00:23The speed that we can reach with a very high speed train is approximately 300 km per hour.
00:33Compared with regional trains whose speed is approximately 160 km per hour
00:38and the intercity that can reach also 180 km per hour.
00:43ATR1000 has been optimized in terms of aerodynamic
00:48in order to grant the lowest emission for very high speed trains.
00:52Currently running at 200 km per hour,
00:55the emission is equivalent to 28 grams of carbon dioxide per passenger kilometers.
01:01Much less than a normal car that is not even running at 300 km per hour.
01:22A lot of studies have shown that if we have a distance of 4-5 hours,
01:39the train is preferred to the airplane.
01:42In 2008, the number of passengers in Italy, for instance, was approximately 6-5 million per year.
01:49In 2018, it was 40 million.
01:52So this is a great success.
01:54In Italy, we say that now ATR1000 has become the metro of Italy
01:59because thanks to the frequency of the train, approximately 15 minutes,
02:03it's a great solution to fit the distance of this city.
