	Mondo Olives
		Pendolino is best known for its ability to produce abundant amounts of potent pollen for a long period of time.
		In Italy it is normal for Pendolino to be planted with both Leccino and Frantoio at a ratio of one to five to ensure that the potential of fruit set is reached.
		The Pendolino olive is early ripening with a high percentage of good quality oil.

	Railway Technology - Finland Pendolino Tilting Trains
		The RHK inherited well-advanced plans for the introduction of Pendolino tilting trains on the country's principal routes, which came to fruition in June 1996 when the first trains entered service between the capital, Helsinki, and the second city, Turku, in the south-west of the country.
		The Pendolino concept was developed by Fiat Ferroviaria, and adapted for its use in Finland by that country's Oy Transtech (Talgo).
		The Pendolino fleet is the backbone of the improvements contained in the Vali 2012 project, which is bringing progressive enhancements reaching extensively across Finland's transport infrastructure.

	eBearing News - SKF Wins Pendolino Bearing Contract
		Pendolino ("pendulum") is the nickname given Fiat's first generation tilting trains in 1967, and has stuck since then.
		Pendolino, by definition, is a high-speed tilting train originally developed by Fiat Ferroviaria, which was later taken over by Alstom.
		Pendolino designs account for more than 75% of all high-speed trains in service today, and Alstom has supplied 421 of those trains with its active tilting technology.

	VR
		Pendolino is the high speed train system operated by VR.
		The reason why the Pendolino was chosen is due to the fact that the country has curved railways and this is the cheapest method to build a high speed train, which runs on existing network.
		Despite its relatively low speeds for a high-speed network, the Pendolino has been very successful due to the fact that it connects many Finnish cities and is frequent and common, similar to the TGV, which spans a large number of major cities in France.

	The Pendolino Express: At Full Tilt (print version)
		Nine Pendolino trains equipped with so-called dual current technology were ordered from Fiat-Ferroviario, an Italian automotive manufactory that has worked on refining tilt technology since the mid-1970s.
		Because Italy's Pendolino only worked with direct 3000 Volt current before, the propulsion system had to be additionally adapted, so it would work with the alternating current systems of 15,000 Volt and 16.66 Hertz found in neighboring Switzerland and Germany.
		Fiat-Ferroviario is currently building Pendolino variants for Finland, Spain and Portugal, as well as for a number of British railroad companies.

		The maximum speed of the tilt-body Pendolino train is 220 km/h; however the speed limits on the lines naturally have to be respected.
		The state-of-the-art technique incorporated in the Pendolino trains offers the passengers an excellent and relaxed travel comfort, which is boosted by a great variety of services and facilities supplied.
		The new tilt-body Pendolino train fleet enables travelling at 30 to 40% higher speeds in comparison with the conventional trains, that is, up to 220 km/h.

	BBC NEWS \| UK \| Aboard the train that can't tilt... yet
		Pendolino - in Italian roughly translated as "she that leans" - is sadly and quite literally "she that won't be leaning any time soon" here in the UK, thanks to Railtrack.
		This Pendolino, the first of 53 ordered by Virgin, is part of the embattled company's bid to put things back on the right track.
		While much of the rattle and shake may be the fault of the track, the Pendolino's vicious automatic doors contribute to sending more than one attendant sprawling, celebratory champagne glasses christening both the upholstery and the VIPs.

		Whilst this is not as high as the 300km/h or so reached by the French TGV and the Italian ETR 500, for which Fiat Ferroviaria designed and built the carriages, it is still far faster than traditional trains.
		Journey times have been dramatically reduced by the Pendolino because of its high straight-line speed and faster travel around bends, and whilst high speed trains may be viable on some busy routes, the level of investment required in track makes them impractical for most.
		Today's Pendolino already makes use of a load bearing body made of aluminium based alloys from the aeronautical industry which keeps the train's weight right down.

		Pendolino is a massive technological leap forward for VWC, which previously operated locomotives and coaches.
		With its sophisticated electronics, extensive computerisation, and tilt system, Pendolino presented the company with the challenges of introducing the most complex domestic train ever to run in Britain, and of developing new operational policies.

		The Virgin Pendolino trainset has just begun commercial service on the West Coast Main Line in the U.K. Originally developed for 140 mph travel, the fiasco following the demise of Railtrack has resulted in the line not being upgraded with the necessary signalling and maximum speed is 125 mph until further notice.
		Pendolino trainsets consist of 8 cars with a ninth car to be added in the future.
		A note: it's a little unfortunate the Pendolino's author kept the name of the sound files as acelacab.sms and acelaeng.sms, even though the only change to the original Acela sound files is the replacement of the Acela horn sound with the K31 for U.K. locos.

	Alstom develops 270km/h super pendolino - World Report International Railway Journal - Find Articles
		ALSTOM Ferroviaria, Italy, is developing Super Pendolino, the next generation of its family of high-speed tilting trains.
		Super Pendolino would have a maximum speed of 270km/h for non-tilting operation on dedicated high-speed lines, while it would run at lower speeds in tilting mode on conventional lines.
		However, Alstom is developing a system called Timpe for Super Pendolino which uses data based on the characteristics (gradient, curve radii, cant, line speed) of the lines over which the trains will operate to control tilting.

		The Pendolino´s interior is designed by the world-famous Giugiaro and the comfortable seats are made in Finland.
