Euroduplex

Avelia Euroduplex, more commonly known simply as Euroduplex or TGV 2N2 in France, is a high-speed double-decker train manufactured by Alstom. It is primarily operated by the French national railway company SNCF, and also in operation with the Moroccan national railway company ONCF. It is the 3rd generation of the TGV Duplex.

The Euroduplex trains are interoperable, containing equipment allowing them to travel between several European continental countries with various types of electrification and signalling systems. A Moroccan variation is the first high-speed train to operate in Africa.

Riding on the success of the concept TGV Duplex, the company decided to develop a fleet of interoperable trains, especially suitable for 15 kV 16+23 Hz. The train is a tricurrent version of TGV Duplex.[citation needed]

The Euroduplex entered commercial operation by SNCF on 11 December 2011.

In parallel with the development of high-speed lines internationally, Alstom SA won a tender for the supply of equipment for a high-speed TGV for Morocco, the first high-speed train on the African continent.[citation needed]
