Avelia Liberty

Is a new passenger trainset built for the North American market by French manufacturer Alstom. It is related to its French sister variant the SNCF TGV M. Amtrak order these sexy trainsets to replace the aging and pretty much bland first gen Acela trainsets. The new fleet will have train sets that each have 378 seats and 8 wheelchair locations for a total capacity of 386 passengers, allowing for 25% greater passenger capacity per train set. They have an active tilt system, dubbed Tiltronix that will allow higher speeds on curved portions of the corridor track at a maximum tilt angle of 6.3°. Their maximum speed is about 160-200MPH (depending on track structure and tilting). They are expected to enter their first service in late 2024
