The Siemens Velaro is a family of high speed EMUs developed by Siemens and derived from the ICE 3 trains first used by Deutsche Bahn (DB) in 2000. A number of variants have entered service around the world, including one developed specifically for DB as its Class 407, which was intended for use on international services, including through the Channel Tunnel.

n51:abstract

The Siemens Velaro is a family of high speed EMUs developed by Siemens and derived from the ICE 3 trains first used by Deutsche Bahn (DB) in 2000. A number of variants have entered service around the world, including one developed specifically for DB as its Class 407, which was intended for use on international services, including through the Channel Tunnel. In 2009, Eurostar announced a £700m project to update its fleet. Approximately £550m of this would be used to procure new trains that would be used to augment its existing fleet, with the intention that any new trains would be able to operate away from the core London-Paris/Brussels network. In October 2010, Eurostar announced that Siemens had been selected to provide Eurostar's new rolling stock, with the Velaro platform to be used. The Velaro e320, named because of Eurostar's plan to operate the trains at km/h (), would be 16 cars long, twice as long as most other Velaro units, to meet the Channel Tunnel safety specifications but, unlike the TGV derived Class 373s, would feature distributed traction, with the traction equipment located along the length of the train, rather than concentrated in power cars at each end.
