The Brenner Base Tunnel (BBT) will not only provide a better connection between Innsbruck and Fortezza, but also between northern and southern Europe by eliminating the bottleneck at the Brenner Pass.
This is how long a passenger train will take to travel through the BBT. On the existing line, this journey takes 1 hour and 20 minutes.
This is how long a freight train will take to travel through the BBT. On the existing line, this journey takes 1 hour and 45 minutes.
740-metre long trains will be able to travel through the BBT. On the existing line, the maximum train length is 450 m.
1 locomotive will be sufficient to travel along the new line through the BBT. Currently, two to three are needed.
IN TOTAL, THE BBT TUNNEL SYSTEM WILL INCLUDE ABOUT 225 KILOMETRES OF TUNNELS.
