This trainset is dedicated for testing all high speed lines and can run up to 320 Kph in testing mode ! You can see on the the first car a roof window to observe the catenary and pantograph movements, on the lastest cars, all the antennas are for testing communication between embeded systems with others (GSM-Rail, analog radio,...) along the tracks...
