Alstom, the leading global rail transport company, has announced a remarkable €10.5 billion in new orders for the first half of the 2025/26 fiscal year, underscoring the company’s continued strength in the passenger and commuter rail markets worldwide. The order intake spans multiple continents and includes contracts for high-speed, interregional, and urban transit solutions. In France, Alstom secured €1.7 billion to supply 96 additional RER NG trainsets for SNCF, aimed at improving service capacity and comfort across the Paris regional network. In Bulgaria, the company won a €600 million contract to deliver 35 Coradia Stream interregional trains, complete with a 15-year maintenance program, reflecting growing demand for modern and reliable intercity rail services in Europe. These significant contracts demonstrate Alstom’s strategic positioning as a supplier of advanced, energy-efficient rolling stock tailored to national and regional rail priorities, while also highlighting the company’s ability to secure long-term service agreements that support operational sustainability and passenger satisfaction.

In North America, Alstom continues to strengthen its footprint with multiple high-value projects. The company has been awarded a €2 billion contract for 316 commuter rail cars to serve the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) and Metro-North in the United States, marking a major expansion of modern commuter rail capacity in the New York metropolitan area. Additionally, Alstom will supply 200 cars and dual-power locomotives valued at €1 billion for NJ TRANSIT, supporting the state’s efforts to modernize its commuter fleet with flexible and efficient traction solutions.

Alstom’s comprehensive approach, combining rolling stock delivery with long-term maintenance and lifecycle support, provides transit authorities with cost certainty, reliability, and operational efficiency — critical factors in densely populated and heavily utilized commuter corridors.

Alstom’s global expansion also includes innovative sustainable solutions and emerging markets. In New Zealand, the company received a €538 million contract for 18 battery-powered trains, paired with a 35-year maintenance plan, illustrating the shift toward greener, emission-free transport solutions. In India, Alstom continues to support urban mobility growth with contracts for metro train supply in Chennai and Mumbai, addressing the challenges of rapid urbanization and increasing demand for public transport. Collectively, these orders highlight Alstom’s ability to adapt to diverse market requirements, including advanced urban transit, intercity connectivity, and environmentally sustainable solutions. The €10.5 billion order intake for H1 2025/26 not only reflects Alstom’s technological leadership and operational expertise but also positions the company to drive growth, innovation, and resilience across the global rail sector for years to come. These milestones emphasize the company’s pivotal role in shaping the future of sustainable, high-performance rail transport worldwide.
