The French TGV-M high-speed train has obtained market authorization approval from the European Union Agency for Railways (ERA). This regulatory clearance is a vital step allowing SNCF to progress toward introducing passenger services with the new train model.

SNCF’s advancements in high-speed rail

The train features an increased seating capacity compared to previous TGV generations, aiming to accommodate more passengers while improving environmental performance.
