Alstom invests $130m to expand railway production in Poland
Alstom has announced an investment of 487m zlotys ($130m) aimed at expanding its railway rolling stock production facilities in Poland over a five-year period from 2022 to 2027. The funding will be allocated to the company's sites in Chorzów, Wrocław, and Nadarzyn, with 320m zlotys ($85.2m) already designated for infrastructure improvements and modernisation efforts in the past three years. This includes the establishment of a new aluminium welding line at the Wrocław facility, which has allowed for an increase in production capabilities beyond carbon steel products. In addition, Alstom plans to invest approximately 170m zlotys ($45.2m) in the Chorzów site over the next two years to facilitate the construction of new production halls, a railway track, and the installation of advanced equipment. The new facilities will encompass nearly 8,000m2 and will be equipped with modern production lines to manufacture both double-decker and single-deck trains for various European clients, including those in Denmark, Romania, and Germany. The expansion in Chorzów will also support the execution of new contracts, including the adaptation of an existing hall that has been operational for more than six years. This hall has produced nearly 1,300 cars for 324 Coradia Stream electric multiple units destined for the Italian market, with the last unit completed in spring 2025. Alstom Poland, Ukraine, and the Baltic States managing director Beata Rusinowicz said: 'We are working hard to meet a growing demand for high-quality rolling stock in both the European and global markets. 'The Polish teams have played a key role in both designing and producing new trains, components and solutions that make mobility safe, comfortable, environmentally friendly and accessible. With new production capacities in our Polish sites, we are planning to execute an ambitious portfolio of orders for international clients.' Furthermore, in 2024, Alstom enhanced its production capabilities with the inauguration of a new hall at the Świętochłowice plant, which spans more than 10,000m2. This facility is dedicated to manufacturing specialised components, including cabs for Coradia Max and Coradia Stream trains, as well as subassemblies for metro cars. The plant is designed to service up to six cars simultaneously and works closely with the Chorzów site, which serves as Alstom's competency centre for metro and regional train production, as well as components for suburban and urban transport. Recently, Alstom and ATM Group established a joint venture to bid for the renewal of the Luas light rail system's operations and maintenance contract in Dublin, Ireland.

Alstom, ATM Group form JV for Dublin Luas contract in Ireland
Alstom and ATM Group (Azienda Trasporti Milanesi) have formed a joint venture (JV) to submit a bid for the renewal of the operations and maintenance contract for the Luas light rail system in Dublin, Ireland. The Luas light rail system currently serves more than 40 million passengers each year, highlighting its significance in Dublin's public transport landscape. The JV aims to participate in the tender process overseen by Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII). The joint proposal will focus on operational efficiency, customer service, sustainability, and the integration of innovative technologies, according to the company. Alstom brings its expertise in advanced transport systems and light rail to the partnership, while ATM contributes its experience in managing multimodal urban transport networks. The goal of this collaboration is to provide a high-performing solution that meets the future needs of the Luas system in Dublin, stated Alstom. Alstom Ireland managing director Piers Wood said: 'We are proud to partner with ATM to offer a compelling proposition for the Luas O&M contract. Our shared commitment to reliability, sustainability and innovation is at the core of this joint venture. 'We look forward to bringing our knowledge and our proven expertise in light rail systems to support the long-term success of Dublin's Luas network.' Alstom has been operating in the Irish market for more than 20 years, during which it has manufactured the entire fleet currently in service with Dublin Luas. The Luas trams, measuring 55m in length, are claimed to be the longest trans produced by Alstom. These trams are notable for being up to 98% recyclable and are designed with a 100% low-floor feature. Alstom is also involved in producing battery electric trains for the DART+ network in the capital. Earlier this month, Alstom delivered the first of 29 Innovia APM R automated people-mover trains to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport as part of an $87m project. This marks Alstom's largest APM replacement contract and its second-largest APM project in the Americas. The airport has now ordered a total of 63 Innovia APM vehicles.
