Zefiro is a family of high-speed passenger trains designed by Bombardier Transportation (now Alstom) whose variants have top operating speeds of between 250 km/h (155 mph); 380 km/h (240 mph) and 400 km/h (250 mph).

The family consists of: the Zefiro 250, which has a top operating speed of 250 km/h (155 mph) and is for the moment wholly manufactured in China; the Zefiro 300, which has a top operating speed of 300 km/h (190 mph) but design speed up to 400 km/h (250 mph); and the Zefiro 380, which has a top operating speed of 350 km/h (220 mph) and design speed up to 380 km/h (240 mph).[citation needed]

As of 2024, Zefiros have become a part of the Avelia Stream high speed train family.[4]
