Pendolino

Pendolino is a type of high-speed train designed to smoothly navigate curves at higher speeds by tilting its cars. The tilting mechanism allows the train to maintain faster speeds on winding tracks by leaning into the curves, reducing lateral forces and passenger discomfort. This technology improves travel times and comfort, especially on routes with many curves. Originating in Italy, Pendolino trains are used in various countries, combining advanced engineering with efficient, comfortable rail travel. They represent a significant innovation in high-speed rail, making journeys quicker and more comfortable on existing railway infrastructure.
