TGV L’Océane A new generation train
A Very High Speed sesign
The design of a TGV is also about the constraints of mass transport, 556 seats per train, a crash test at 300 km/hour, and maintenance processes equivalent to those of the RER (commuter rail serving Paris and its suburbs).
A nomadic office chair for multiple uses
Designed like an alcove, with an increased volume and an adjustable inclination, the 1st class seat is equipped with all the tools that are useful for today’s working modes: USB ports and 220 V outlets, a secretary desk, a mini tablet, a soft-light reading lamp, a vanity mirror and an individual coat hook.
Move better, a public health issue
The elegance of pure wool on seats, leather covering headrests and armrests, and light oak wood shelving are enhanced with a technological feat. For the well-being of the passengers, 1st class seats swivel to face the direction of travel for every trip. The various features of the journey are optimized: luggage space, dynamic signage and traffic handles. Access is fluid and postures varied to bring rhythm to the trip. Passengers can move around and have a refreshment in the bar car on shared benches or at the light oak wood counter.
A sustainable lifestyle
The light, calorimetry and materials treatments were selected for their performance in terms of sustainable design: operation and cleaning. After five years of reflection, project work and construction with SNCF and Alstom, the TGV L’Océane has a 10% increase in capacity compared with a TGV duplex and 22% more than a TGV Atlantique Lacroix.
