Something Went Right

Looks like France upped the "I’m going to be faster" race with trains, but do it in a way that consumes 30 percent less energy.

The French firm Alstom unveiled its successor to the TGV, appropriately called the AGV (Automotrice Grande Vitesse).

Each carriage has it’s own engine, consumes 30% less energy, is lighter, carries up to 700 passengers and travels up to 223 MPH (360 KPH).

Also, look for these trains to show up in Italy in 2011.
