SNCF has planned to upgrade its high-speed trains to ensure compliance with the new regulations

Given this deadline, all rail transport system operators are adapting their fleet of rolling stock, and SNCF has also planned to upgrade its high-speed trains to ensure compliance with the new regulations.

With a choice made among the best companies that design and supply fire-fighting systems for rolling stock, the main transport company from across the Alps has chosen the SILFI-GUARD© system by ISE as the best technical solution offered at the most competitive price among those proposed.

The system that will be installed on the six TGV Réseaux tricorrente trains in service between France and Italy includes the latest generation water mist system for the passenger compartment and the most advanced technologies and security solutions already used by ISE for previous projects supplied both on the national and international markets.

Details of system configuration will be frozen after summer following a series of technical meetings, and the system will be implemented early in the year 2020, to be installed on the vehicles and approved by the end of the year.
