Key offerings from Alstom include flagship high-speed train platforms such as the TGV in France and AGV units developed in collaboration with Italian partners. The company’s Citadis range of trams and Metropolis series of metro cars serve urban transit networks in Europe, Asia, the Americas and Australasia. Alstom’s signaling portfolio spans conventional and communications-based train control (CBTC) systems, enabling enhanced safety, real-time traffic management and increased line capacity.
Operating in more than 60 countries, Alstom has delivered major projects for national rail operators and metropolitan transit authorities worldwide.
