The German railway 407 high-speed train is a high-speed train based on the Velaro platform with a maximum operating speed of 320 km/h, a train length of 200 m, an electrical system of 15 / 25 kV AC and 1.5 / 3 kV DC, and a traction power of 8,000 kW.
The Velaro D is a multiple‑unit high‑speed train developed by Siemens Mobility for Deutsche Bahn. It features distributed traction modules under the floor, allowing a spacious passenger area and a modular interior that can be adapted for different service needs. The train operates on 15/25 kV AC and 1.5/3 kV DC systems, enabling cross‑border service in Belgium, Germany, France, and Switzerland.
Technical data include a maximum speed of 320 km/h, a 200 m train length, and a total traction power of 8,000 kW. The train uses regenerative, eddy‑current and pneumatic brakes, and its design reduces energy consumption by about 10 %. Passenger comfort is enhanced by a low‑noise interior, video information screens, and an efficient onboard power supply system.
