Talgo Avril is a high-speed train made by Talgo. It stands for "Alta Velocidad Rueda Independiente Ligero" (roughly translated as "Light High-Speed Independent Wheel"). [1]
The train is intended to have a top speed of 380 km/h (240 mph). [1] It has front and rear power cars containing under-floor/over-roof equipment and 8 trailer cars in between the power cars, giving a total seating capacity comparable to those of an electric multiple unit rather than a locomotive-hauled train. [1] The trailer cars have an unusually short length of 13 m (42 ft 8 in). [1]
Other details: [2]
Talgo presented the Avril concept at the InnoTrans fair in Berlin in September 2010. [3] After several years of development and testing, the first order for Avril trains was placed in November 2016, when Spanish operator Renfe Operadora signed a €786.5 million contract for 15 train sets and 30 years of maintenance. [4] In May 2017, Renfe Operadora ordered 15 more train sets, with the Avril's entry into service expected in 2020, [5] delayed to March 2024. [6]
In 2023, French operator Le Train signed a €300 million contract for 10 train sets and 30 years of maintenance. [7]
From 21 May 2024, Renfe schedules new AVE services to the Spanish regions of Asturias and Galicia, operated by variable gauge Talgo Avril trains under the class name S-106. Those AVE services are replacing the previously Alvia services Madrid Chamartín- Gijón and Castellón de la Plana/ Vinaros-Gijón via Oviedo in Asturias and the Alvia services Madrid- A Coruña and Madrid- Vigo via Santiago de Compostela, Vilagarcía de Arousa and Pontevedra in Galicia. [8] In addition Talgo Avril will replace S-112 trains for the Avlo Madrid– Barcelona, Madrid– Valencia, Madrid– Alicante and Murcia–Madrid– Valladolid services. [9]
A Talgo Avril train reached 360 km/h top-speed on the Ourense-Santiago de Compostela high-speed line on Iberian gauge as part of homologation testing. [10]
