   While the tilting technology may well be derived from the Pendolino, there   
   are significant differences between this design and the Pendolino. This   
   design uses separate power cars and articulated bogies for the carriages,   
   while the Pendolino family are based on distributed traction and   
   conventional bogies. This looks more like a TGV derivative with added tilt   
   rather than a Pendolino product.
