Siemens Velaro is a family of high-speed EMU trains used in Europe and China. The Velaro is based on Deutsche Bahn's ICE 3 high-speed trains, but is a full Siemens product unlike the ICE 3 which involved other manufacturers.
Spain's RENFE was the first to order Velaro trains, known as Velaro E, for their AVE network. Wider versions were ordered by China for the Beijing-Tianjin high-speed rail (China Railways CRH3) and Russia for the Moscow Saint Petersburg and the Moscow Nizhny Novgorod routes (Velaro RUS/Сапсан).
In July 2006 a Siemens Velaro train-set (AVE S-103) reached 403.7 km/h (1324.5 0). At that time, this was the world record for railed and unmodified commercial service trainsets.
