ETR 480

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The ETR 480 is a tilting EMU built by FIAT Ferroviaria (now Alstom Ferroviaria) beginning from 1993 is also known as Pendolino. The main difference between ETR 460, ETR 470 and ETR 480 is that the 460 run only on 3 kV DC, the 470 on 3 kV DC and 15 kV AC, the 480 on 3 kV DC and 25 kV AC (used on new high-speed railways in Italy).

ETR 480 were initially built without 25 kV AC electric equipment. This equipment is now being installed into all sets and the trains renumbered ETR 485.
