French built high speed train TGV and AGV

The French once again proving that they are masters of the journey. The new version of the TGV (train à grande vitesse) is called the AGV (Automotrice grande vitesse).
The AGV is the world’s first train to combine distributed power with articulated carriages, where each vehicle shares a set of wheels – known as bogies – with the next.
La motrice password in the dictionary shows a motor vehicle towing another vehicle, then the automotrice is kind of 'self-coupling' or 'self-drive' vehicle. The thing is simpler than at first glance sounds.The new train, which is built by Alstom, has motors distributed on passenger coaches, rather than concentrated in power cars full of equipment at either end of the train. This system, known as distributed power, reduces the weight of the train’s heaviest vehicles and increases the space available for passengers.
Not to mention the speed. TGV in normally conditions developed speed 340 km / h, the AGV will be vehicles with maximum speed 360 km / h.
The French high-speed trains I travel in pleasure, because in my opinion, they know how to create a pleasant ambiance.
