Alstom extends partnership with Saudi Railway Company to power up east-west freight corridor

Alstom announced a new services agreement with Saudi Railway Company (SAR) at the Saudi Rail Exhibition, further strengthening their commitment to the future of transportation in the Kingdom. 

Under this agreement, Alstom will provide SAR with comprehensive support, encompassing technical assistance, a steady supply of spare parts, and tailored staff training programs. To digitalize maintenance process and bring more efficiency, the locomotives will be continuously monitored in real-time by Alstom’s digital solution HealthHub™. This proven technology will enable a predictive maintenance approach for SAR, reducing downtime and optimizing fleet availability. These measures will ensure the long-term efficiency and reliability of the diesel locomotives operating on the vital east-west freight corridor.

The east-west railway plays a vital role in connecting the key ports of Dammam and Jubail with the Riyadh dry port, facilitating the seamless flow of goods across the country. This enhanced efficiency directly supports Saudi Arabia's ambitious Vision 2030 plan to diversify the economy and strengthen its position as a global logistics hub.
