Alstom AGV during a test run

The AGV (acronym for French: Automotrice à grande vitesse; lit. "high-speed railcar") is a standard gauge, high-speed, electric multiple-unit train designed and built by Alstom.

Alstom offers the AGV in configurations from seven to fourteen carriages, with seating that can carry as much as 245 to 446 people. The trains are constructed from units comprising three cars (each with one transformer and two traction electronics packages located underneath the cars) and single-car driver-trailers. The maximum commercial speed is 360 km/h (220 mph).

Design of the train took place through the early 2000s, with a prototype, "Pégase", produced in 2008. Italian transport company NTV ordered 25 trains in 2008 (classified as AGV 575) with services beginning in 2012.

According to Alstom, the advantages of the AGV are: increased seating area per train length (compared to a single-deck TGV); safety and maintenance advantages of the Jacobs bogie articulation design as well as higher energy efficiency from permanent-magnet synchronous motors.[7]

It has now been removed from Alstom 's sales vehicle page. In fact, it has been discontinued, and the Avelia AGV has been replaced by the Avelia Stream, Alstom 's new power distribution high-speed train lineup .[citation needed]
