Elipsos Internacional S.A. was a Spanish company which was set up in 2001 by Spanish RENFE and French SNCF with a 50% share each. It was created to handle the logistics of Trenhotel night railway services between Spain and France, Switzerland and Italy; in 2013 only services to France remained; they were cut back to thrice a week in September 2013, and discontinued on 15 December as the high speed line between France and Spain had opened.[1] The Elipsos Trenhotel operated with Talgo gauge change trains.

Between December 2013 and December 2022, Elipsos handled high-speed trains between France and Spain, sold as "Renfe-SNCF in Cooperation".
