The Automotrice à grande vitesse or AGV, presented last month by the Alstrom Corporation, is set to take the place of the famous French TGV (train à grande vitesse). Reaching speeds of 350 to 360 km/h, the AGV is not only faster than the TGV, but also more energy efficient. The new train is also being envisioned for future export if successful. President Sarkozy was on hand for the unveiling of the new train.For more on the new AGV:
