"NTV’s new ruby red-coloured Avelia Pendolino train has been named Italo EVO and is scheduled to begin operations next year."

The train has been manufactured using recyclable materials and is said to comply with the latest 2014 Technical Specifications for Interoperability (TSI) regulations established by the European Union to ensure maximum safety and efficiency.

All the contracted trains are being built at Alstom’s manufacturing sites in Italy.

The Savigliano site carried out the design and manufacture of the locomotives, while the Sesto San Giovanni facility in Milan designed and produced the traction systems.

In addition, Alstom's Bologna site developed the signalling systems and the company's Naples-based Nola branch will be responsible for the maintenance of the vehicles upon delivery.
