The CDG Express trains are part of the Coradia Polyvalent range, built by CAF France in Reichshoffen, Alsace. They have been adapted to the specific requirements of the line: high frequency, station stops designed for passengers with luggage, and maximum availability. With a top speed of 150 km/h, they can travel from Gare de l'Est to Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport in 20 minutes, whatever the conditions.

Transcription
The CDG Express runs on a single track and is blue and red in colour. Various exterior views of the train are shown, as well as a view of the driver’s cab. The automatic doors open and the camera moves inside the train. The video highlights the various features of the train’s interior: the Express Lounge area, comfortable seats, panoramic windows, toilets, accessible facilities, etc.
A person moves easily through the train and sits down on an orange bench seat. They place a bag in the designated storage areas and plug a charger into a power socket. They lower a tray table and use one of the luggage strap fasteners.
