Alstom to supply Belgium’s SNCB with an additional 98
multifunction M7 train cars
- Part of a framework contract signed in 2015 for the supply
of up to 1,362 M7 train cars
- Over 100 M7 cars already in commercial operation on the
Belgian network
20 December 2021 – Alstom has received a
new order to supply a further 98 double-deck M7 multifunction train
cars to the Société Nationale des Chemins de Fer Belges (SNCB). The
order forms part of a framework contract signed in 2015 for the
supply of up to 1,362 M7 train cars and is worth a total of around
€268 million. SNCB has ordered a total of 747 train cars to
date.
The M7 train car is based on the same concept as
double-deck M6 train car, which are popular and known for their
high level of reliability. The new interior arrangement and
enhanced passenger information systems optimise passenger
comfort.
The train provides SNCB with broad operational
flexibility since the cars can operate commercially as
multiple-unit trains or can be drawn by specialised traction stock
along with other car types. The trains can operate up to a speed of
200 km/h across Belgium’s electrified network and on cross-border
lines linking the country with the Netherlands and
Luxembourg.
“This order underlines the high level of
confidence SNCB has in our double-deck trains,” says Bernard
Belvaux, Managing Director Alstom Benelux. “Indeed, we now are in
the process of delivering this new equipment. More than one hundred
passenger cars are already operating on the Belgian network with a
high level of availability and recognised levels of comfort.
We are excited to serve the transport system in Belgium by
supplying a comfortable solution that addresses the growth in
passenger numbers”.
The M7 power car is developed by Alstom at its
Valenciennes double-deck centre of excellence. The M7 cars are
assembled at Alstom's sites in Bruges, Belgium, and Valenciennes,
France. Alstom’s site in Crespin, France, performs the carbody
assembly of the trailer cars. Alstom's center of excellence in
Charleroi, Belgium, supplies the traction system and the national
and European signalling systems. Alstom's centre of excellence in
Siegen, Germany, supplies the bogie system for the M7 trailer cars
and Le Creusot, France, supplies the bogie systems for the M7
steering cars.
