The train, designated as 22001, has received the Assessment Body (AsBo), Notified Body (NoBo), and Designated Body (DeBo) certificates from the Independent Safety Assessor (RINA). The certificates confirm the safety and compliance of the design created by Alstom and its partners. Earlier this year, Alstom installed approximately 120km of trackside infrastructure to support the ETCS system. The HoS project aims to demonstrate that Alstom’s European Vital Computer (EVC) acts as the central safety component within the ETCS framework. Alstom project manager Julie Williams said: “Successfully completing the ETCS installation and assessment body certification on the Head of Series for the 22000 Class is a proud moment for the entire team.
