Technical information
Implementing environmental sustainability within
product development has a commanding impact on
vehicle design, resulting in the high overall
recyclability and energy efficiency as well as the low
noise levels of the SPACIUM train. Material content
Material content
The table details the material content of the SPACIUM train
as well as all materials required for maintenance during a 40
year operation. Materials are classified according to ISO
22628:2002. Recycled material content has been estimated
to approximately 35% by weight for an 8-car configuration.

Energy efficiency
Regenerative braking, LED technology, using passenger
counting to optimise HVAC system efficiency and a
sustained effort to reduce weight throughout the design
phase, all contribute to maximising the energy efficiency of
the SPACIUM train.
The projected energy consumption is based on a
simulation for the operational profile of the Paris Gare de
Lyon-Corbeil Essonnes route, including curves, altitude,
time table and characteristics of the electric supply
Noise
The SPACIUM train fulfils the TSI Noise requirements with a
large margin. Exterior sound level measurements follow
ISO3095 methodology6.

Highlighted features
Applying life cycle thinking when developing the
SPACIUM train has allowed us to maximise
environmental efficiency while meeting passenger
requirements and expectations.
High capacity
An extended width of 3.06 m provides higher seating
capacity while maintaining passenger comfort. Increasing
vehicle capacity reduces the frequency of journeys required
to operate a specific route, making the SPACIUM train a
highly energy efficient regional commuter vehicle.
Material selection
Screening out materials having an impact on health and
environment is a main focal point in product design.
Applying a Project Prohibited & Restricted Substances
List7, combining requirements from Bombardier
Transportation and SNCF, has resulted in the near
elimination of Chromium VI as well as formaldehyde
emitting materials.

Substances List.

LED lighting
Besides contributing to comfort and aesthetics, LED
lighting reduces replacement intervals and energy
consumption by a factor of eight when compared to
traditional technology.
Energy recuperation
The SPACIUM train is equipped with an electrical braking
system that significantly reduces the need for mechanical
braking and recovers the braking energy by reintroducing it
into the catenary. Electrical braking also results in a
dramatic reduction in brake dust emissions.
ECO4 compatibility
As one of Bombardiers latest train developments, the
SPACIUM train is compatible with BombardiersECO4
technologies which, when combined, can provide energy
savings of up to 50%. ECO4 technologies include the
BOMBARDIER* EBI* Drive 50, a driver assistance system
that guides drivers to operate the train with a view to
optimised energy usage and the ThermoEfficient
Climatisation System, a system that ensures passenger
comfort while saving considerable amounts of energy.
Facilitated cleaning
The cantilever seating system, without attachments to the
floor, creates additional floor space for increased safety and
facilitates cleaning. Interior decor has been protected
against vandalism with anti-graffiti paneling, tear-resistant
seats and scratch-resistant windows, minimising the use of
environmentally hazardous cleaning products over the
SPACIUM train life cycle.
High recyclability
The SPACIUM train features materials with high recyclability
and a high content of recycled materials. At the end of life
phase of the vehicle life cycle, the recyclability and
recoverability rate of the SPACIUM train is 93% and 98%
by weight respectively.

Design optimisation through a life cycle perspective focusing on water consumption over all life cycle phases.
Carbon footprint
The carbon footprint of a passenger travelling for one km
on the SPACIUM train is the result of an allocation of the
total amount of greenhouse gases (GHG) emitted over all
phases of the vehicle life cycle. The total mass of emitted
GHGs is allocated to CO2 equivalents.
