The AGV Train
From the TGV
an Articulated train with Concentrated Motorisation
to the AGV
an Articulated train with distributed Motorisation
� First very high speed railway application for a high power (720 kW) permanent magnet traction motor (~1 kW / kg) Samarium-Cobalt
� Closed & self ventilated => Maintenance free motor

4. Specificity of the Industry
The Specificity of the Railway Business• Project (contract) oriented except Tramways
: Highly Technically Customized i.e. New Contract = New design, New train
• The Concept of « Train of the Future » has no meaning!
• High technical skills of the customers : Detailed Technical Specifications;
• Constraints of norms/regulations at EU and National levels;
The Specificity of the Railway Business• Prices are decreasing and Customers want
to pay minimum price : most customers are State or Authorities who get they budget from taxes!
• Difficult to introduce innovation : cost, safety, reliability and long warranty; CONSERVATISM!
• Annual turn-over of the Industry severalorders of magnitude less than the turn-overs of Automotive and Aeronauticindustries;
Other Industries• AERONAUTICS : Working on the next
generation of Aircraft e.g. the Full Composite A320! « Plane of teh Future » has a meaning.
• Automotive Industry : strong interweaven links between companies.
* Producing cars in the same factory underdifferent brands;
* Developing jointly components/sub-Systems
* Opening R&D outputs in their main supplier to competitors (Example Start-Stop).

What TO DO!
• Try to bring in the final user ASAP so that
your development becomes HIS! Careful
about the « NOT IN HOUSE SYNDROM »!
Could be Standardization Body.
• Setting up of a « user » Group so that
potential parties be exposed to the Project.
• Do Economic Analysis : the issue is most of
the time THERE!
What TO DO!• Be ready to be challenged!
• Be ready to reorientate your target!
• Know the Market Needs/Drivers and continouslyupdates
BE HUMBLE
• It does not always work : it is … rare! Even greatguys (S. Jobs) came up with Inventions that were a DISASTER (for their company!).
Remember what Horizon2020 is requesting : makingyour best efforts.
Try to extend cooperation beyond the Project in 1to1 partnership
What NOT TO DO!
• Think that you know what to do : « I KNOW WHAT IS GOOD FOR THEM! »
• Think that you know the Other IndustryBusiness!
• Don’t be « arrogant » although you must pursue your quest!
• Think that developing the idea and having a labproto working is enough : yes it is a FIRST stepbut Industrialisation at a market price isANOTHER issue.
