The trainset can pass through curves at higher speeds, as shared bogies reduce lateral forces on the track.

Reduced train weight due to fewer wheels, improving train performance and reducing track wear.

The train moves as a single unit because the cars share bogies, improving passanger comfort.

The train can be wider than conventional trains while using the same track and tunnel profile, allowing for wider aisles and seats
