The next-generation electric trains will feature modern digital systems and innovative high-speed technology.

The fleet of 20 electric trains will be based on the American Pioneer 220 trains, developed from successful Velaro models from Europe.

This decision underscores the commitment to comprehensive passenger service, including those with limited mobility.

The 30-year technical maintenance agreement will create jobs in Nevada and highlight the long-term partnership between Brightline West and Siemens Mobility.

It’s also noteworthy that Siemens Mobility will supply rolling stock for an existing line in Florida, emphasizing trust in their products and services.
