A proposal for Latin America’s fastest bullet train is under development: it would top 217 mph and slash travel time between two major cities

Latin America is preparing to take a historic leap in railway infrastructure. A high-speed project promises to transform mobility in the region with unprecedented travel times and state-of-the-art technology.

They are planning on building the fastest bullet train in Latin America

The plan is being developed in Brazil, where the region’s first bullet train is planned. The High-Speed Train (TAV) will exceed 350 km/h and will connect Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo and Campinas, a line of approximately 510 kilometers, in 1 hour and 45 minutes. This will allow it to:

• Drastically reduce travel times
• Connect the country’s main economic centers
• Compete directly with air transport

The trip between Rio and Sao Paulo could be completed in less than two hours.

It will incorporate state-of-the-art technology

The TAV will incorporate international standards in rail transport:

• Exclusive tracks designed for high speed
• Advanced digital signaling systems
• Automatic control of trains
• Optimized aerodynamics to reduce drag
