Nuovo Trasporto Viaggiatori (Template:Lang-it) is an Italian company which is Europe's first private open access operator of 300 km/h (190 mph) high-speed trains.[3] NTV was created by four Italian businessmen (among them Luca Cordero di Montezemolo) to compete with Trenitalia.[4]

The company intended to start services in late 2011, following certification of its trains in mid-2011.[5] After delays due to the complexity of the project,[6] NTV started service on 28 April 2012.[7][8] NTV ridership for whole year 2012 was 2,051,702 .[9]

Trains

Italo train at Bologna railway station.

An order for 25 Alstom Automotrice à grande vitesse (AGV) trainsets each with 11 cars was announced on 17 January 2008.[10] Alstom assembled 17 at its La Rochelle plant, while eight were produced at Savigliano in Italy.[11] NTV has an option for a further ten trains. The contract includes maintenance for 30 years.[12] NTV unveiled the first of its trains in a ceremony on 13 December 2011.[13]

Routes

Routes served by NTV are those of the Italian high-speed rail network, comprising 13 cities and 16 stations. Italo’s High Speed train service connects three lines:[14]

In Milan, Rome and Venice there are two station options: Porta Garibaldi and Rogoredo in Milan, Tiburtina and Ostiense stations in Rome, Mestre and Santa Lucia in Venice.

Disputes

In March 2011, NTV complained that the Italian infrastructure manager, RFI, was obstructing its plans to run trains by making last-minute changes to network statements. RFI is controlled by the same government group that controls Trenitalia, the incumbent provider of passenger train services in Italy.[15]
