Top Performers. Proven Impact. Real Transformation.
Passengers want comfort, speed and style. Operators want reliability, availability and low whole-life costs. At the same time, the rail industry must deliver measurable progress towards decarbonization
Hitachi Rail’s latest-generation ETR1000 high-speed train and brand-new BEMU battery train are purpose-built to meet all of these needs – and more. Join us at InnoTrans 2026 to discover how these trains could radically transform mobility for you and your passengers.
ETR1000: High speed. High performance. No compromises.
The latest-generation ETR1000 is one of the fastest trains in the world. It is also one of the smartest – as you’ll find out when you step onboard.
Step onboard excellence
Our outdoor display showcases four cars from Trenitalia’s flagship ETR1000 Frecciarossa:
Executive and business-class environments
A bistro coach
An exclusive VIP demo car
All presented in the iconic Frecciarossa red livery.
Built for Europe: seamless switching between different power supplies and signaling systems means the ETR1000 is able to run on high-speed lines in France, Germany, Spain, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium and the Netherlands, as well as Italy.
Enhanced by HMAX: the high speed platform can benefit from Hitachi Rail’s HMAX for Rail digital suite, a digital asset management system that enables real-time data processing to optimize traffic, maintenance and energy consumption in rail transport - a new frontier in rail transport digitization.
Proven where it matters: with more than 60 trains now in operation with Trenitalia – and more in the pipeline – the ETR1000 is a service-proven solution, including on international cross-border services linking Paris and Milan.
100% Hitachi expertise: Designed and built in Italy at Hitachi Rail facilities in Naples and Pistoia, the latest-generation ETR1000 reflects fully integrated engineering and manufacturing excellence.
New BEMU battery train
Decarbonization, delivered today
Our brand-new BEMU (Battery Electric Multiple Unit) sets the standard for low-carbon passenger journeys. The first ever pure-play battery train to run in revenue service on Italy’s rail network, the BEMU is redefining sustainable regional transport
Explore the technology
Discover the full capabilities of the BEMU at Hall 4.2, Booth 430, and see how battery technology is transforming regional operations.
Reliable range. Real results
Our BEMU brings peace of mind with a battery range of up to 100km. Battery charging is achieved via a double pantograph while regenerative braking ensures optimum energy recovery and a CO2 reduction of up to 70% vs current diesel trains. This is a practical, scalable solution — not a future concept.
Unlock non-electrified networks
With over 85,000 km of European rail still unelectrified, the BEMU enables operators to:
Eliminate diesel without major infrastructure investment
Extend electric services to more routes
Accelerate decarbonization immediately
Designed for real-world operations: From dense urban networks to regional lines, the BEMU delivers consistent electric performance – even on routes with discontinuous electrification. It is equally useful in and around cities – providing all the benefits of electric traction on non-electrified urban branch lines and routes with discontinuous electrification.
Passenger comfort, uncompromised: Sustainability does not come at the expense of experience: Our new high-efficiency HVAC system offers optimum performance with low environmental impact. And batteries are mounted on the underframe, saving valuable onboard space.

These are not concepts. They are deployed, proven, and ready to scale.
