Alstom to deliver additional automated people movers to Denver International Airport

Alstom, global leader in smart and sustainable mobility, announced that it will deliver 19 additional Innovia APM R cars to Denver International Airport. This option order will increase the total number of cars delivered to 45. The automated people mover (APM) vehicles will be manufactured and tested in America at Alstom’s facility in West Mifflin, PA. The total value of this option is more than $69 million USD.

The Innovia APM R provides increased capacity with up to eight four-car trains available to operate at any given time. The upgrades to the APM system are essential to serving existing demand and supporting the continued growth of Denver International Airport, the third busiest airport in the U.S., and sixth busiest airport in the world.

This expansion of the APM fleet serving Denver International Airport will help ensure the airport can adapt their fleet size to support current and future passenger volume, as well as accommodate vehicle maintenance schedules. Alstom’s Innovia APM R cars are a perfect fit for this kind of frequent airport operations, as the fully automated system allows operations to easily adjust for peak and off-peak times. The airport set an all-time passenger traffic record of 82.3 million in 2024 and is projected to exceed 100 million passengers per year by 2030.

In addition to moving more passengers at a time, the lightweight aluminum car bodies are assembled using recyclable materials and use a more efficient power supply that improves the airport’s energy consumption by more than 30%, reflective of Alstom’s and Denver’s commitment to sustainable mobility solutions.

The vehicles will be manufactured at Alstom’s West Mifflin facility in Pennsylvania, underscoring a commitment to U.S. manufacturing. This state-of-the-art facility produces Innovia APM cars and is integral to Alstom’s quality control and testing processes, ensuring each vehicle meets the highest standards of reliability and efficiency.
