[US] Alstom redevelops exterior and livery design: The new Amtrak Acela high
speed trains will look like this

Written by Railcolor Headquarters on 08.10.2017 in Alstom, Alstom Avelia,
Alstom Avelia Liberty Amtrak

On 06.10.2017, Amtrak revealed the exterior paint scheme for the 28
next-generation high-speed trainsets that will replace the equipment
currently used to provide Amtrak’s premium Acela Express service. Amtrak
announced in August 2016 that it selected Alstom to produce the
next-generation trainsets.

Railcolor: We see new design sketches provided by Alstom, and a scale model
of a train in a new color scheme. The livery has changed considerably since
the concept design train was presented back in 2016. The blue color tone is
now Amtrak’s blue, and black is gone. Instead, we see much more white, on
the power-cars’ sides and over the while train around the window areas. It
gives the train a more ‘open’ look, friendlier, but also less advanced.

Like the trains that will be replaced, the new Alstom trains will be running
under the ‘Acela’ brand. The Acela logos to be applied will mono-color
instead of having a gradient. It will be combined with blue red and white
decoration formed by small triangles, that still looks like a gradient from a
distance. These triangles can be found on the motorcars and around the
entrance door sections. The first class section features a red painted door,
the others are grey. This grey color only re-appears on the nose of the
train. Most distinct livery feature are the red-painted bottom sections of
the train.

Exterior design changes
Not only the livery has evolved, the exterior design did too. The motor-cars
are still short, compact but have a more conventional design. The front
window design Alstom is nowadays using on many of its modern EMUs since the
introduction of the AGV, has disappeared. The V-shaped windows that were
visually connected with the sides of the train (we see something similar on
the Alstom Coradia Streamer and Pendolino Evo designs) are not there anymore.

In general we see a more conventional design, where different elements are
less a unity compared to the concept design. The front cab side windows have
no relation to any other element anymore. Same can be said about the
grey-colored TGV-shaped nose section. It is not very distinctive anymore, nor
typically Alstom. A familiar design element that did stay though is the
aerodynamically shaped skirt that covers the first bogie of the power-car.

160 mph tilting trains
The train ordered by Amtrak, is called ‘Avelia Liberty’ Alstom, Avelia
being the umbrella brand for all the high speed and very high speed trains
Alstom is building. The Amtrak trains will be tilting trains – featuring the
‘Tiltronix anticipative tilting technology’ – and will be running at a
maximum speed of 257 km/h (160 mph). The 28 nine-car sets will be deployed on
the Northeast Corridor (NEC) between Boston and Washington DC. If needed,
Amtrak can decide to add extra intermediate sections to the trains.

摘要：
1.配色改的比較明亮
2.確認繼續使用acela列車名
3.前擋玻璃改為傳統形式而非多片式
4.營運最大速率為160mph(257kph)

P.S.正式上路後不知道有多長的距離可以噴257？

推 t7101271328: 要東北走廊再改善 然後造成營運最大問題的移動式橋樑
→ t7101271328:  都要重用才有辦法吧
→ ecpoem: 還是不脫滑鼠造型
這車頭有700系的感覺...
推 ciswww: 目的地顯示器居然可以做在門扇上
門板上如果有掛排線ok阿
推 cutec: 第一代的Acela加減速性能很好，客艙的乘坐舒適度不錯，過彎
→ cutec: 傾斜作用也不會讓人覺得不適。目前靠近在波士頓附近會比較
→ cutec: 有機會開到高速，之後到紐約前的路段則比較多急彎。
→ cutec: 期待二代Acela上路後的表現。
一代車人稱具有幹掉EMU的優秀性能...XD

推 cutec: Acela的啟動加速真的可以用勇猛來形容，而且不是只有剛啟
→ cutec: 動時，連中段加速也有感覺。
推 cutec: 沿路進出彎道的傾斜同步性也很好，不容易察覺有太多急遽傾
→ cutec: 斜的現象，而且車內走動或站立也沒有問題。
→ temu2035: 這麼重的車，要有凌厲的加速，需要很大的功率
→ temu2035: 很吃電力，才只拉六輛車
用車輛數來分析列車其實不準確
應該使用其他數據來衡量比較精確些

acela一代車動力車長度21.21m 拖車長度26.64m
2m6t編組長度約為202.91米，載客長度約為160m
總功率9200KW，列車總重565t，商轉最高240kph

TGV POS動力車約22m，端位拖車約22m，中間拖車18m
2m8t編組長度約196m，載客長度約152m
總功率9280KW，列車總重390t，啟動牽引力商轉最高320kph

這樣對比一下有看出啥端倪嗎？
1.acela單位載客長度分配到的功率與TGV POS比相近
2.acela比TGV POS重將近175頓
3.acela的加減速性能非常好，啟動性能更超越TGV POS甚多

這樣推得啥結論？
acela的強度(重量)是用降低最高速能力換來的
單位載客長度的功率並沒有比較高，反而在服務速度內有更好的調速性能
這樣算比較耗電嗎？好像也是(被毆)
推 Alica: 人家堅固耐撞當然重 一台拖車快要抵台鐵PPT兩台的重量
→ Alica: 反正美國浪費能源也不是21世紀才開始 習慣就好
推 cutec: 不只是Acela, 連Northeast Regional Express的電力機車ACS-
→ cutec: 64與車廂Amfleet都堅固耐撞。
→ cutec: 下一代的Acela會是9節車廂起跳。
推 cutec: 美國或許一直以來會給人不重視鐵路的印象，但Amtrak可一點
→ cutec: 都不落伍，它們無論是在車廂維護與軟硬體服務上都大勝台鐵
→ cutec: 。
二代車號稱要減重30%約170頓，大約就比POS現況重一些而已
在相同撞擊強度的標準下要辦到
只能說現代科技進步的非常強大...

→ xylophone135: 倒是Acela有類似飛機的那種行李櫃，這在東方國家好
→ xylophone135: 像沒看過
推 cutec: Acela除了有座位上方行李櫃外，靠近玄關處也有獨立的行李架
→ cutec: 。
→ temu2035: E3行李架有加蓋的話，就是美式行李櫃了XD
→ temu2035: 國光老狗也有很大的行李櫃
→ temu2035: 台鐵新城際電車可以用E3的外型和內裝嗎？這款超美的
→ Metro123Star: 樓上，車殼設計直接拿來用應該沒問題，淨空相同XD
→ Metro123Star: 不過畢竟是高速列車，車頭設計會減少座位數
→ komachi275: 臺鐵列車什麼時候優先考量座位數了XD
