Project is co-financed by the EU’s Connecting Europe Facility and the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management.

Two and a half years after a consortium was launched to develop the prototype of an autonomous regional train in France, SNCF and its partners Alstom, Bosch, Spirops, Thales and the Railenium Technology Research Institute are putting their test train into operation.

The first pre-production Coradia Polyvalent France-Germany cross-border train left the Alstom Reichshoffen site on 12 May for the DB Systemtechnik test centre in Minden (Germany), where it will undergo its first tests for certification and approval. Mechanical tests will be conducted to check how the train behaves in curves. It will then go to the Velim test centre (Czech Republic), where it will undergo traction, braking, electro-magnetic and acoustic stress tests.

An innovative project with SNCF, dedicated to the regions of Spain.

Alstom has been selected by public transport operator Régie Autonome des Transports Parisiens (RATP) to provide its automatic train operation system I-CBTC to lines 10, 7bis, 3bis and 3 of the Paris metro, in France. As many as 91 carriages of the new MF19 trains, designed and manufactured by Alstom at its Valenciennes and Crespin sites, will be equipped with Alstom’s interchangeable CBTC (I-CBTC) solution, developed for RATP.

Passenger exchange and platform crowding information is valuable in the design and operation of efficient services. Two solutions, part of the Optimet innovations developed by Metrolab, offer operators actionable insight in these crucial areas.

Built in one of India’s largest integrated greenfield manufacturing facilities, these are the nation’s most powerful Made-in-India Electric Locomotives.

Over 56% of the world population is currently living in large cities. By 2050, 2.5 billion more people will have moved into urban areas.

Alstom has signed a Product Test Agreement with Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) in New York, the busiest commuter railroad in North America, to explore the potential application of one of Alstom’s innovative and environmentally-friendly traction technologies.

Alstom has been awarded an €87 million contract by the Houston Airport System in Houston, Texas to provide ten years of operations and maintenance services for the Skyway automated people mover system at George Bush Intercontinental Airport.
