Sumario:In this talk an overview of the ALICE TRD is presented. The ALICE TRD consists of 540 individual detector modules with a total of 1.2 million readout channels. It allows electron identification above a momentum of 1 GeV/c and is capable of providing a very fast and efficient trigger on electrons with large transverse momentum pt. It will operate in a very high multiplicity environment. The rapidity density of charged particles in collisions of Pb nuclei at ps = 5:5 ATeV is expected to be as high as dN/dy = 8000.
