December
2021 – Alstom and Transdev
formally launched today in Crespin (Hauts-de-France) the
implementation of the contract for the supply of 16 8-car trains
for the Marseille-Toulon-Nice line, which Transdev will operate in
summer 2025. This order, worth approximately 250 million euro, also
includes maintenance support for the trains for a 10-year period.
Delivery of the new material, manufactured at Alstom's Crespin
site, will begin at the end of 2024.
The launch took place in the presence of Olivier
Delecroix, Sales Director of Alstom France, and Vincent Destot,
Regional Director of Transdev Hauts-de-France, who is very involved
in Transdev's rail projects.
“We are proud to participate in the
implementation of the first concession of a French regional line
with Transdev. We are offering a proven, comfortable train, capable
of running at 200 km/h, in order to serve the mobility of all
passengers. We will also provide maintenance support and thus
contribute to the long-term operational efficiency of the trains.
These new trainsets will replace the current Corail cars and will
be added to the many Alstom trains already running in the Southern
Region,” explains Olivier Delecroix, Sales
Director of Alstom France.
“We are delighted to be able to work with
Alstom, which has a long history in the Hauts-de-France region, to
enhance our rail offering in the context of regional rail being
opened up to competition, and to enable everyday passengers to
benefit from a high quality of service,” emphasises Vincent
Destot, Regional Director of Transdev Hauts-de-France.
“Transdev is looking forward to the start of the
concession, in the summer of 2025, so that all passengers on the
Marseille-Nice line can discover the unequalled comfort of the
Omneo Premium trains and enjoy the best services that will be
available on board,” added Claude Steinmetz, Rail
Director of Transdev France.
A train that combines capacity,
comfort, and accessibilityThese
Omneo Premium trains come from Alstom's Omneo platform, of which
491 train sets have already been ordered by 10 French regions (373
“Regio 2N” suburban and regional trains and 118 “Omneo Premium”
Intercity trains).
The Omneo Premium trains on the
Marseille-Toulon-Nice line will be adapted to meet Transdev's
specific operating challenges which include:
- Creation of a convivial space
allowing passengers to enjoy a catering area (with a snack
offering);
- Interior fittings offering all the
services desired by the Region, such as bicycle spaces (12 per
train), doors to separate the 1st class areas, and interior harmony
reflecting the image of the Region and of the line on which the
trains will run;
- Implementation of new on-board
services, including innovative systems for video surveillance, seat
reservation or bicycle space reservation, passenger counting and 4G
communication between the train and the ground.
The new 8-car trains are 110 metres long and
will accommodate up to 352 passengers (plus 66 folding seats for
short journeys). This high capacity is achieved by alternating
single and double-deck cars.
Comfort has been particularly well thought out
for long journeys: wide seats, large glass walls to take advantage
of the natural light and the panorama of the seaside, clear
passenger information with screens and displays, air conditioning,
2 classes with lower and upper decks, toilets and connectivity
tools (Wi-Fi, electrical and USB sockets).
This coastal train will accommodate all
travellers thanks to wide corridors and multi-purpose areas on the
ground level, allowing bicycles, scooters, and luggage to be
parked.
10-year maintenance
supportAlstom will also provide Transdev with 10-year
maintenance services for the 16 trains. Alstom's Services teams in
France will provide maintenance engineering, supply spare parts,
and overhaul the main components (including bogies, engines,
pantographs).
Alstom is a certified Railway Company as well as
a certified Entity in charge of Maintenance (ECE). With 12 service
centers and more than 1,000 employees dedicated to services in
France, Alstom has a unique knowledge of rolling stock as well as
the industrial base to meet the challenges of heavy maintenance of
main components.
An "Origine
France Garantie" train,
manufactured in the Hauts-de-France RegionThe Alstom site
in Crespin (Hauts-de-France) will design, manufacture, assemble and
homologate the Omneo Premium trains for the Marseille-Toulon-Nice
line, which Transdev will operate in summer 2025.
For the third year in a row, Alstom's Omneo
train has been awarded the “Origine France Garantie” official
label, the only certification that attests to the French origin of
a product, thanks to an independent audit and guarantees a high
level of standards.
“This is recognition of the know-how of the
employees at the Crespin site and a guarantee of our commitment to
our customers, passengers and the entire French rail industry,”
concluded Olivier Delecroix at the signing event
held at the Crespin Alstom site on 16 December.
