A Eurostar Velaro (Siemens Velaro E320) train is 16 car train.
A 374 is not. A 374 is an 8car half train.
In the same way a "complete train of 373s" can be split into two, a "complete train of 374s" can.
The numbering reflects this - 374001 is a half set formed, for now, with 374002, etc, from 4001+4002 to 4019+4020.
A E320 half can haul the entire train - and I should b*****y well hope so with 10500 hp continuous power in each half.
AIUI from Siemens technical blurb each half of a Velaro E320 has its own distributed traction group but there is no power bus or other traction link between the two groups , only control and auxiliary functions, which is analogous to two EMU coupled together, and they are splittable to allow halves to be mixed and matched for maintenance purposes. However, my German is less than perfect and I may have mis understood it, and I am not sure if they can un-couple the two 374s outside of a depot.
