The fastest train in Europe will make you want to quit continental flights forever

Here’s why you should take Europe’s fastest, smoothest and quietest train for your next continental holiday.

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.
