Astoro.

The Astoro fleet consists of 19 high-speed trains operating on the north-south axis in international traffic between Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy.

The Astoro was especially developed for international traffic between Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy. Compared to conventional trains, the tilting system enables the Astoro to shorten journey times over the Simplon Pass and in the direction of Munich or to create more of a buffer in the timetable. Wide aisles and inter-coach gangways make for more comfortable and convenient accessibility on the train.
