“It will be the most high-performance train on the continent”, states Rixi, “and will help build the framework of high-speed rail travel in Europe. FS proves to be a group at the forefront of rail transport. The creation of this train was made possible through the strengthening of the Italian production chain, in Berlin with 223 exhibitors, through Italy’s investments in the rail sector. Today we consider ourselves to be a world leader in an extremely high-tech sector and the Frecciarossa 1000 is the symbol of our view towards the mobility of the future.”
“For Trenitalia”, states Corradi, “the tourism sector has grown a lot this summer, with a 10% increase in passengers compared to pre-Covid levels.”
