TheRenfe Class 130 orS-130[4] (Spanish:Serie 130 de Renfe, manufacturer's designationTalgo 250) is apush-pull high-speeddual-gauge,dual-voltage trainset consisting of 11Talgo VII tilting coaches and twopower cars, used onAlvia andEuromed services.[5][6][7] The class have been nicknamedpatitos (ducklings), due to the shape of the train nose.[8]
The trainsets are designed for high-speed services onIberian gauge (1,668 mm (5 ft 5+21⁄32 in)) and high-speed (1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in)) lines; they can change gauge at low speed without stopping using Talgo's RDvariable gauge system.[9] The carriages are constructed from aluminium and incorporate theTalgo Pendularpassive pendulum tilting system,[10] are sealed against pressure differences for tunnel travel,[1] and have underframe air conditioning, individual audio systems and video displays, rotating and reclining seats and power outlets.[3]
Capacity in standard class is 36 seated, in first class 26 seats, end coaches have lower capacity, one coach is typically used for restaurant/sales services.[1]
The power cars use AC traction motors controlled byIGBT inverters which include integrated auxiliary inverters. Signalling systems can includeETCS Level 2,LZB,ASFA andEbicab900TBS.[11]
As of January 2010 they operated fromGijón/Oviedo viaLeón,Palencia,Valladolid toMadrid with some trains extended toAlicante viaAlbacete;[12][13]Santander via Palencia and Valladolid to Madrid, sometimes extended to Alicante;[13][14] Madrid toBilbao via Valladolid andBurgos;[13][15] Madrid toSan Sebastian/Irun via Valladolid, Burgos andVitoria;[13][16] Madrid to Alicante;[13][17]Huelva andCádiz[citation needed] and Madrid toMurcia.
Since January 2020 Renfe Class 130 operate on theFigueres–Alicante route viaGirona,Barcelona,Camp de Tarragona,Castellón de la Plana andValencia for theEuromed services.[7]
On services such as Gijón–Madrid they have been replaced byRenfe Class 120 trainsets (2011).[8]
In order to extend high-quality services to parts of Spain not on the high-speed network Renfe acquired hybrid trains with both electric and diesel power[18] for delivery in 2012 for use from Madrid toMurcia andGalicia, built by Talgo and Bombardier, at a cost of 78 million euro.[19] The new trains based on theS-130 were initially codedS130H, laterS730;
Fifteen sets S-130 units will be converted to hybrid operation.[20][21] with twogenerator cars per set using MTU 12V 4000 R43L engines (1.8MW each). The top speed in diesel mode is 180 km/h (112 mph). Testing of the trains took place in 2011 with introduction into service expected in 2012.[22]
A gauge-changing train capable of over 250 km/h (155 mph) is in development and is based on theS-130.[23]
A version of the S130 forUzbekistan Temir Yollari was ordered in 2009 for use on aTashkent–Samarkand high-speed line.[24] Deliveries of the order of two trains began in July 2011.[25]
Two more sets were constructed in 2017, following expansion of the service.[26]
