Thanks to the entire HUF six billion development program, Alstom's site in Mátranovák will be responsible for one third of the group's railway bogie frame production capacity.

This programme offers scholarships for postgraduate studies and professional work placements at Alstom sites in Madrid and Barcelona.

This transformative programme will enhance customer comfort, improve operational efficiency and refresh a fleet that has been a cornerstone of Southeastern’s Metro services since its introduction in 2004.

Stéphane Guy, Vice President for Product Introduction (PI), explains how railway products and systems are looked after in their first years of life.

The vehicles will be equipped with the Onvia signalling system (formerly known as Atlas), Alstom's market-leading on-board solution for ETCS, covering the largest number of countries and subsystems.

Refurbished trains each feature 234 seats with seat back tables and charging points to provide customers with better journeys.

More spacious, more modern, more comfortable and more efficient, RER NG has been designed to meet the needs of densely populated areas and to make a lasting improvement to travel conditions.

The contract is for a term of four years during which Alstom will maintain 26 Alstom-made Metropolis trains, as well as traction substations and signaling systems.

The maintenance will start in December 2025 and will be carried out in Umeå and Luleå, increasing the presence of Alstom’s operations in the north of Sweden.

The “New Generation” RER is a double-deck rolling stock designed for the RER D and RER E lines operated by Transilien SNCF Voyageurs on behalf of Île-de-France Mobilités to improve passenger comfort and regularity on these lines.
