• Tilting pantograph is mounted on a sliding
carriage to provide an active counter-
translation hydraulic system
• Anticipative mode uses on-board sensors to
pinpoint the train’s exact position on the line
and order corresponding tilt for the route as
it is reached
• By reacting quicker at approaching bends, it
is less sensitive to track irregularities and
can offer a smoother transition for better
passenger comfort at higher speeds
