    TGV M for Modular

    The TGV M offers the possibility of flexible configurations with 7, 8 or 9 carriages, allowing first-class space to be transformed into second-class, and the interior to be reconfigured as required. The result is a 20% increase in on-board space and improved accessibility.

    Designed in close collaboration with wheelchair user associations (UFR), it guarantees the accessibility of all on-board areas for all passengers, making it the first TGV to offer complete, independent accessibility to the train.

    Sober, ergonomic and connected

    The TGV M also stands out for its energy efficiency and exceptionally low carbon footprint, positioning it at the top of the market.

    What's more, it offers scalable connected services, including on-board Wi-Fi, comprehensive real-time information for passengers, and data transmission on the train's various components to optimize preventive maintenance.

    Its compact, streamlined architecture also helps reduce manufacturing and maintenance costs.
