The TGV 001 was a high-speed railcar of the SNCF . The gas turbine train was manufactured by Alstom in 1972 as a prototype for the TGV .
history
In December 1966, the SNCF and the industry started the project C 03 “Possibilités ferroviaires sur infrastructures nouvelles” (possibilities of railways on new infrastructure), which examined the investigation of high-speed traffic with trains powered by gas turbines for passenger traffic on new high-speed lines . To this end, the SNCF ordered two prototype trains in 1969, the second to be equipped with active tilting technology . The tilting train was never built due to technical difficulties. On March 24, 1972, the five-part TGV 001 multiple unit was completed in the Alsthom factory in Belfort . From April 4, 1972 to June 19, 1978, the vehicle was subjected to an extensive test program with 5227 test drives . On December 8, 1972, the speed was 318 km / h between Lamothe and Morcenx on the Bordeaux - Irun line . The world speed record of 331 km / h had already been achieved on the same stretch of route in 1955 . From 1978 the test program was continued with the prototypes of the TGV PSE . In 1983/84 the TGV 001 was used again to investigate problems with the secondary suspension of the TGV PSE.
Both power cars of the train were erected as a technical monument . TDu 001 is in front of the TGV repair shop in Bischheim , TDu 002 in Belfort and can be clearly seen from the A36 autoroute .
technology
The multiple unit consists of two identical power cars , a 1st class car , a measuring car and a 2nd class car. The passenger cars were connected by powered Jakobs bogies . A driver's cab , the drive system and a luggage compartment are located in each of the power cars. The two seating cars are air-conditioned open- plan cars . In 1st class the seats were arranged in a 2 + 1 division, in 2nd class in a 2 + 2 division.
The drive power was in the two power heads by two Turboméca TURMO III G - turbines generated later by more powerful TURMO-X-turbines. A generator and a rectifier which has power electrically to the twelve traction motors transmitted.
The service brakes were a rheostatic brake , an eddy current brake , mounted on the drive axle of the traction motors, and a hydropneumatic brake . The train also had a magnetic rail brake and a spring-loaded brake .
