These TGV units are essentially TGV Sud-Est trainsets that are modified for transporting mail for the French postal carrier La Poste. The top speed is 270 km/h (168 mph) making them the fastest freight trains in the world.5 half-trainsets were built numbered 1-5. A further two numbered 6 and 7 were converted from former TGV-SE trainset no. 38.
