1987. Speed record in Spain with the 1998. Metro de Madrid puts into service the
prototype of the tilting electric train 443-001 first line with electrification at 1,500 V with
(Platanito), reaching 206 km/h under a 3,000 DC. This is Line 8. As of this moment, Metro
V DC system. de Madrid will begin to implement this
system on the rest of the wide gauge lines.

2001.Speed record in Spain with the
prototype of the 102 series (359 km/h) on
the Madrid-Seville high-speed line.

2003. Inauguration of the second high-speed
line in Spain between Madrid and Lérida
(future Madrid-Barcelona line). The system
used is 25,000 V and 50 Hz, in HV
configuration (2x25 kV), the first time it has
been used in the Spanish railway network.
RENFE

1989. RENFE begins the reception of the
twenty electric trains that constitute the third
batch of the 448 series, and that will
constitute the last electric traction material
with a direct current motor used by the
company.

1992. Inauguration of the first high-speed
line in Spain, between Madrid and Seville,
with the new series 100 trains (AVE trains),
equipped with three-phase synchronous JCMA
motors. That same year, the reception of the
252 locomotives begins, with asynchronous 2005. Start of commercial operation in Spain
triphasic traction, which have marked an with the new 102 series trains. They use IGBT
important milestone in the European
development of triphasic traction. At the transistors. Previously, the prototype used

system is used, in a simple single-phase significant applications worldwide of this
type of semiconductor. With this prototype, a
configuration (1x25 kV). speed record was set in Spain in 2002 (362
km/h) on the Madrid-Barcelona high-speed
line (Zaragoza-Lérida route), during its
construction phase.

1993. Speed record in Spain with the AVE
100-015 train (357 km/h) on the Madrid-
Seville high-speed line.
