The V/Line VLocity, sometimes called the VLocity 160, is a diesel multiple unit train built by Bombardier Transportation and, later, by Alstom in Dandenong for V/Line, the regional rail operator in the Australian state of Victoria. Continuously in production since 2003, the VLocity is the highest-speed train in the V/Line fleet, with a top speed of 160 km/h (100 mph). As at December 2025, with set VL138 about to enter service, 137 3-car sets are in revenue service, two collision damaged sets are in storage, and 3 more are under construction under the current contract for a total of 141 three carriage sets.
