The TAV ((ポルトガル語:Trem de Alta Velocidade), meaning ''train of high-speed'') is planned to be Brazil's first planned high-speed rail service. The first line was proposed to run between Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. It was expected to cover the between Barão de Mauá station, and Campo de Marte Airport in an 85 minutes, reaching a maximum speed of . The project was originally budgeted at US$15 billion,〔 supported by both private and international investors rather than government.〔(TAV Brazil Information )〕 The route was originally planned for starting construction in 2010, but the Brazilian government currently plans to hold an auction to choose the train operator in late 2014.〔 == Planning == A feasibility study revealed a demand of almost 33 million passengers by 2015. This estimate, however is highly criticized for being generous. The plans include linking the São Paulo International Airport, in Guarulhos, Greater São Paulo, the Viracopos International Airport, in Campinas, and the Galeão International Airport, in Rio de Janeiro. The route will include 134 km (85 mi) of track passing through 105 tunnels and viaducts. In Guarulhos, São Paulo, there will be tunnel of 15 km (9.3 mi) in length. Apart from the Inter-American Development Bank, five other international institutions have already tabled the possibility of investing in the Brazilian supertrain. BNDES, in particular, has proposed financing the project.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2010-11-14 )〕 An estimated 21,000 jobs are expected to be generated by the project once it gets underway.〔(Rio-São Paulo Supertrain facts )〕 The winning bidders will join the government as venture partner through a public company, called ETAV. In July 2010, the CND (National Council for Privatization), following the ruling of the TCU (Court of Audit) and authorized the release of the feasibility study for the project.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2010-07-20 )〕 The consortium that won the bidding for the high-speed train will, according to the original plan, have six years to complete the stretch between Rio and Campinas. According to ANTT (National Agency of Land Transport), however, the winning bidder could complete certain stretches ready for operation beforehand. It was hoped that the complete linkage between Campinas to Rio, via São Paulo, would be complete and in operation for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games but, due to delays, the project is expected to be completed by 2020.〔〔(TAV Brazil and the FIFA 2014 World Cup )〕 The ETAV, with headquarters in Brasília, aims to plan and promote the development of high-speed rail integrated with other modes of transportation in the country. ETAC's assignments include: feasibility studies, technical-economic engineering, research, innovation and technology, absorb and transfer technology, supporting capacity development of national industry, overseeing the execution of the works of infrastructure and the implementation of the operation of transport high-speed railway. The new company will be organized in the form of a privately held corporation and has its capital represented by common shares - of which at least 50% will be owned by a Union.〔(ETAV headquartered in Brasília, Federal District )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「High-speed rail in Brazil」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
