The ETR 480 is a tilting Electric Multiple Unit built by FIAT Ferroviaria (now Alstom Ferroviaria) since 1993, It is also known as Pendolino. It was developed from the first new-generation Pendolino, the ETR 460. The main difference between ETR 460, ETR 470 and ETR 480 is that the 460 run only on 3 kV DC, the 470 on both 3 kV DC and 15 kV AC, and the 480 on both 3 kV DC and 25 kV 50 Hz AC.
ETR 480 were initially built without actual 25 kV AC electric equipment. This equipment is now being installed into all sets and the converted trains are subsequently renumbered ETR 485.
