Aventra

The Aventra is a family of EMUs designed by Bombardier as a successor to the Electrostar EMUs.

Description
The multiple units have been designed to be lighter, more efficient, and have increased reliability. They will have lightweight all-welded bodies, wide gangways and doors to shorten boarding times in stations, and ERTMS. The design incorporates FlexxEco bogies which have been used in service on Voyagers, Meridians and newer Turbostars.

The design features a gangway design that allows maximum use of the interior space and ease of movement throughout the train.

Crossrail
The first order for Aventra trains covers 65 Class 345 EMUs for the London Crossrail project. The nine-car trains will be 200 m long and carry up to 1,500 passengers.
