The new generation TGV will be modular

    With greater capacity, modularity and recyclability, the TGV of the future offers a host of innovations for energy-efficient travel and total passenger comfort. 100% connected, its maintenance will be all the faster and more efficient.

    M for Modular

    The future TGV INOUI, formerly known as TGV M during its production phase, offers the possibility of flexible configurations with 7, 8 or 9 carriages, making it possible to transform a first-class space into second class and reconfigure the interior as required. The result is a 20% increase in on-board surface area and improved accessibility.

    Designed in close collaboration with wheelchair user associations, it ensures that all areas on board are accessible to all passengers, making it the first TGV to offer complete and independent accessibility to the train.

    Sober, ergonomic and connected

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

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

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