The Avelia Horizon, called TGV M by its main customer SNCF Voyageurs, is a double-deck high-speed passenger train designed and produced by Alstom. Like the TGV Duplex it has a power car at each end, but it is more energy efficient and cheaper to run, and SNCF found its unit cost to be 20 percent lower than the Duplex. It grew out of a 2015 procurement programme won by the Alstom-led SpeedInnov joint venture, and SNCF ordered 100 trainsets for 2.7 billion euros in July 2018. Bodyshell manufacture began at La Rochelle in 2020. The train reaches 350 km/h, and versions have been ordered by Proxima, Morocco's ONCF and Eurostar, whose Celestia fleet is based on it.
