Talgo XXI, a High Speed Diesel Train Talgo XXI is at the heart of the technological developments that have led us to manufacture the most reliable lightweight, high-speed trains available on the market today. Modularity is a key feature of Talgo XXI, which is a diesel train capable of achieving speeds of 220km/h Talgo XXI is the fastest, high-speed diesel train in the world. On June 12 2002, it recorded a speed of 256.38km/h on the Madrid – Barcelona line, exceeding all previous records. As well as this notable achievement, the train possesses a strong service record, safely covering millions of kilometres in Spain each year. The push-pull design and Series 7 passenger cars provide optimum stability inside the train, while its automatic variable gauge system guarantees obstacle-free travel on the complex Spanish railway network. These features convinced Spanish infrastructure manager Adif to use the train for close to 15 years for rail inspections on Europe’s most extensive high-speed network.
