17
July 2023 –
Alstom, global leader in smart and sustainable mobility, and Akiem,
European rolling stock leasing company, have signed a framework
contract for 100 Traxx Universal multi-system (MS3) locomotives.
The firm part of the order includes 65 locomotives. The total
amount of the framework agreement is up 500 million euros. Akiem
confirms its leadership on the leasing European market and its
ambition to contribute to the rail market’s accelerating
activities, with major investment on corridors from France to 12
other European countries.
The Traxx Multi-system locomotives benefit from
optimised energy consumption and can run both Freight and Passenger
operations at a speed of up to 160 kilometres per hour. They will
cover operations in 12 European countries: Germany, Austria,
Switzerland, France, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxemburg,
Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia. As a unique feature for
multi-system locomotives, a part of them will be delivered with the
diesel or battery last mile feature enabling to access ports,
terminals or industrial sites without the need of a shunting
locomotive.
All locomotives will be equipped with the
leading signalling system ATLAS, Alstom’s onboard solution for the
European Train Control System (ETCS). This system comes with the
broadest coverage of countries and lines, both in ETCS as well as
for legacy system operation, and superior two-out-of-three
architecture.
Kevin Cogo, Vice-President, Rolling Stock,
Locomotives & Components, Alstom DACH, said: “We are very proud
that Akiem extends their locomotive fleet with their biggest single
order of Traxx locomotives for an important number of countries.
Thanks to this agreement, both Akiem and Alstom will reinforce
their strong position for locomotives in various corridors
including their home market.”
Fabien Rochefort, CEO of Akiem added “Akiem is
thrilled to place this new order with Alstom. We are constantly
investing in our locomotive portfolio to serve our customers and
develop new market positions. This stock investments will allow to
offer new efficient and sustainable routes which will contribute to
increase the modal shift towards rail in Europe. 55 locomotives as
part of this order will operate from France towards Europe in a
context when no deliveries were experienced for the past decade. We
are intending to contribute to the rejuvenation of rail Freight and
intercity passenger transport in France and ease innovation and
competition with the support of our maintenance and service teams.
“
Final assembly is planned to take place at the
Alstom site in Kassel, Germany. Deliveries of the units are
scheduled to take place between 2025 and 2028.
