The company's portfolio includes renowned products like the Avelia high-speed trains and Citadis trams, which are integral to urban transit systems globally.
Alstom is currently working with Trenitalia c2c to paint and repair the operator’s entire Class 357 Electrostar fleet – and the first train is now back in passenger service.
The new metros will run on line 1 of the Métropole Européenne de Lille transport network and will be equipped with Urbalis Fluence technology, which is based on direct train-to-train communication and embeds the system’s intelligence on board.
The new Urbalis CBTC signalling system will enhance the reliability, frequency, safety, and efficiency of line 6, the busiest line in the Madrid Metro network.
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 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.
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.
