Talgo 22

Two open and stepless decks<br />

through the entire train<br />

The First Real Double-Deck Train<br />

Designed for high capacity<br />

<strong>Talgo</strong> <strong>22</strong> is the world’s first real double-deck train. Its<br />

high-capacity design offers substantial and completely<br />

new benefits to operators and passengers.<br />

Maximised passenger compartments<br />

The design is based on the unique <strong>Talgo</strong> wheelset, which<br />

allows for two stepless decks going through the entire<br />

train. Both decks are open even through the gangways,<br />

which is impossible in every conventional double-deck<br />

train. The short lenght of intermediate cars, 7.5–9.0 m,<br />

allows for wider car bodies. This combination results in<br />

maximised passenger compartments, comfort and ease<br />

of travelling.<br />

Family of products<br />

<strong>Talgo</strong> <strong>22</strong> is a versatile platform of electrical multiple<br />

units. Available versions include trains for commuter,<br />

regional and intercity traffic. The train is modularbased<br />

and tailored to meet customer needs.

The revolutionary<br />

double gangway<br />

<strong>Talgo</strong> <strong>22</strong> has revolutionary double gangways between<br />

cars. There is an open and stepless connection between<br />

every car on both decks of the train. Passengers<br />

preferring to travel on the upper deck no longer need<br />

to walk stairs up and down in order to find an available<br />

seat. They can just take the nearest stairs up and see<br />

every vacant seat on the upper deck with a glance.<br />

Likewise, passengers on the lower deck don't run into<br />

any stairs while moving from one car to another in<br />

search of empty seats.

easy to find a seat<br />

Maximised efficiency<br />

Maximum platform utilisation<br />

At many train stations, the length of platforms is critical.<br />

The high-capacity design of <strong>Talgo</strong> <strong>22</strong> allows for<br />

maximum passenger capacity per track metre, so<br />

larger numbers of passengers can be served with existing<br />

platforms.<br />

Efficient passenger flow<br />

Due to the double gangway, the rush in vestibules is<br />

largely avoided because passengers entering the train<br />

can take the wide stairs of <strong>Talgo</strong> <strong>22</strong> up and choose a<br />

seat in any car of the train. Those remaining on the<br />

lower deck do not need to take any stairs up or down<br />

when leaving the vestibule area and even when walking<br />

to another car. The ease of moving around coupled<br />

with the higher number of entrance doors speeds<br />

up the passenger exchange of <strong>Talgo</strong> <strong>22</strong> by approximately<br />

35% compared to conventional trains.<br />

Good performance<br />

In high-capacity double-deck design, all the heavy<br />

equipment resides directly above the driven axles.<br />

This allows for constant axle load and excellent acceleration<br />

regardless of passenger load.

Based on proven solutions<br />

<strong>Talgo</strong> DoubleDeck Coach<br />

<strong>Talgo</strong> <strong>22</strong> utilises tested existing solutions. The doubledeck<br />

carbody construction, the <strong>Talgo</strong> wheelset and<br />

suspension, and the ELIN traction and control systems<br />

have been proven in numerous passenger rail<br />

vehicles over a span of several decades.<br />

LCC, maintainability<br />

and safety advantages<br />

Passenger rail vehicles based on the <strong>Talgo</strong> wheelset<br />

have demonstrated excellent vehicle availability and<br />

optimised maintenance costs. The solution allows for<br />

light train construction, which results in reduced operation<br />

costs. Because the wheelset features individually<br />

mounted and steered wheels, the technology also<br />

offers safety and comfort benefits related to running<br />

behaviour.<br />

<strong>Talgo</strong> also offers complete maintenance services at<br />

the operator’s request.<br />

Stepless, silent, open<br />

A new travelling experience<br />

Easy to move around<br />

The stepless decks, double gangways and wide stairs<br />

between the lower and upper decks make it very easy<br />

to move inside the train.<br />

Completely open upper deck<br />

The completely open upper deck of <strong>Talgo</strong> <strong>22</strong> adds to<br />

the safety of travelling because passengers can see<br />

the whole deck and freely move from one car to another.<br />

Safety through <strong>Talgo</strong> wheelset<br />

Because of the individually mounted and steered<br />

wheels, there is no hunting movement in the <strong>Talgo</strong><br />

wheelsets. The centre of gravity is low and the car<br />

structure can be made light but at the same time<br />

strong. The <strong>Talgo</strong> wheelset also allows for a quiet train<br />

interior and exterior.
