Italy's elite powers full steam ahead on a fantastic journey

This is an Italian dream machine: low-slung on its wheels, with a ferocious barracuda nose, designer interior styling and a top speed of 360km/h. Of course, the colour is haemoglobin red — and, best of all, you can chatter endlessly to your friends in the seats behind you without fear of wrapping the car round an olive tree.

Because it is not a car. It is a train, the AGV (Automotrice à Grande Vitesse), the latest Alstom super-fast loco — and the French don't even have one. Italy is launching this train, not Trenitalia, the state railway, but Nuovo Trasporto Viaggiatori (NTV), a new company set up by a handful of Italy's business elite with the help of Generali, the insurer, and Intesa Sanpaolo, the investment bank.

Within two years, NTV will be running 25 trains, branded italo, between Turin and Naples, serving cities such as Milan, Bologna and Venice to the east, as well as Florence, Rome, Naples and Salerno to the south. Together, these centres account for more than half of the Italian economy and the italo, competing with Trenitalia's own high-speed services, will shorten the journey time from Milan to Rome to three hours, quick enough to obliterate Alitalia's service.

That is not the point, according to Giuseppe Sciarrone, NTV's chief executive, who insists, diplomatically, that high-speed rail will only take 15 per cent of the airline market but will generate huge amounts of new traffic with a €60-€70 (£53-£62)fare from Milan to Rome.

Backing Mr Sciarrone is Italy's business elite, including Luca di Montezemolo, the president of Fiat, Diego Della Valle, owner of the Tod's brand, Alberto Bombassei, chairman of Brembo brakes, Intesa Sanpaolo and Generali.

NTV has even secured the ultimate European seal of rail approval a 20 per cent investment by SNCF. The French national railway company may see NTV as a useful back door into an early incursion into the Italian market, before the planned link between Lyons and Turin via a transalpine tunnel.

According to Mr Sciarrone, NTV was made possible after a €40 billion state investment in high-speed track and an Italian government decision to open the domestic market to competition next year, well ahead of the European Union deadline in 2015.

“It's a difficult but fantastic project,” Mr Sciarrone said. The partners are investing €1 billion, including €650 million for the trains. He hopes that the business will begin to show a return in the third year of operation, assuming that the Italian economy begins to recover in 2010. “All of Europe is interested in our experiment,” he said.

Translation - German
Italiens Wirtschaftselite mit Volldampf auf Traumreise

So sieht es aus, das italienische Traumfahrzeug: tief gelegtes Fahrwerk, grimmige Barrakudanase, Interieur im Designerstil, Höchstgeschwindigkeit 360 km/h. Rot wie Blut muss die Farbe natürlich sein. Aber das Schönste ist, dass Sie sich ganz entspannt mit Ihren Mitfahrern auf dem Sitz hinter Ihnen unterhalten können. Sie müssen nicht befürchten, das Fahrzeug um einen Ölbaum zu wickeln.

Dieses Fahrzeug ist nämlich kein Auto. Die Rede ist von einem Zug, dem AGV (Automotrice à Grande Vitesse), dem neuesten Alstom Höchstgeschwindigkeitszug, von dem in Frankreich kein einziger fährt. Seine Jungfernfahrt findet in Italien statt – nicht bei Trenitalia, der staatlichen Eisenbahngesellschaft, sondern bei Nuovo Transporto Viaggiatori (NTV), der Neugründung einiger Vertreter Italiens Wirtschaftselite mit der Unterstützung durch die Versicherungsgruppe Generali und der Investmentbank Intesa Sanpaolo.

In den nächsten zwei Jahren will NTV 25 Züge unter der Marke .italo auf die Gleise schicken zwischen Turin und Neapel, in Städte wie Mailand, Bologna und Venedig im Osten oder Florenz, Rom, Neapel und Salerno im Süden. Auf diese Ziele entfällt über die Hälfte der italienischen Wirtschaft. Der .italo, im Wettbewerb mit dem Hochgeschwindigkeitsnetz von Trenitalia, verkürzt die Reisezeit von Mailand nach Rom auf drei Stunden – schnell genug, um Alitalias Flugzeiten zu schlagen.

Aber darum geht es Giuseppe Sciarrone, dem Vorstandsvorsitzenden von NTV, gar nicht. Diplomatisch weist er darauf hin, dass Hochgeschwindigkeitszüge nur 15 Prozent vom Luftfahrtmarkt wegnehmen werden. Viel bedeutender wird die neu geschaffene Nachfrage sein, bei Reisepreisen zwischen €60 - €70 (£53 - £62) für die Strecke Mailand-Rom.

Sciarrone zählt auf die Unterstützung durch Italiens Wirtschaftselite, darunter Luca di Montezemolo, Präsident von Fiat, Diego Della Valle, dem die Marke Tod gehört, Alberto Bombassei, Vorsitzender des Bremsenhersteller Brembo, Intesa Sanpaolo und Generali.

NTV hat sich sogar das ultimative Gütesiegel für die Schiene in Europa gesichert: eine 20-Prozent-Beteiligung durch die SNCF. Frankreichs Staatseisenbahn könnte in NTV eine nützliche Hintertür für einen frühen Markteintritt in Italien sehen, vor der geplanten Trasse Lyon-Turin durch einen Alpentunnel.

Nach den Worten Sciarrones wurde NTV möglich, nachdem der Staat 40 Mrd. € in Hochgeschwindigkeitstrassen investiert und die italienische Regierung beschlossen hatte, den Inlandsmarkt im nächsten Jahr für den Wettbewerb zu öffnen, weit vor der für 2015 in Europa vorgesehenen Frist.

„Das Projekt ist nicht einfach, aber fantastisch“, sagt Sciarrone. Die Geschäftspartner investieren 1 Mrd. €, davon 650 Mio. € in die Züge. Er hofft, dass die ersten Gewinne im dritten Jahr nach dem Start erzielt werden, sofern die italienische Wirtschaft sich ab 2010 zu erholen beginnt. „Ganz Europa zeigt Interesse an unserem Experiment“, sagte er.
