In the late 2010s, Amtrak put out bids for a new series of high-speed power to replace their unreliable first generation Acela equipment. ILW, which had already won a large order for diesel and dual-power units, bid and won with the eco-110p model, which was capable of producing 11000 continuous HP (with a terrifying 19000 HP five minute rating) and a top speed of 180mph.

These units use the standard eco-p carbody design, but are built with a composite steel, aluminum, and carbon fiber carbody to reduce weight. Amtrak has 44 of them, and use them not only for the Acela (Alsthom, despite losing their bid for the entire trainsets, are a subcontractor for ILW and are producing Pendulino-style cars for the eco-110p powered Acela-II trainsets) but also for non-express trains (which have become a lot more like express trains now that they can be pulled off the line with 19000 horses.)

Their current allocations are:

• 28 are in Acela II service
• 16 are Northeast Regional service
