In 2018, Alstom has delivered 150 vehicles on time from its German sites. Coradia Lint regional trains for the diesel networks Saxony-Anhalt and Augsburg, Coradia Continental regional trains for the Hessische Landesbahn, DT5 metros for Hamburg, Prima H3 locos and Coradia Nordic regional trains for Sweden left the plants on time and entered passenger service.
“Despite some challenges, our teams have performed excellently and strengthened the good relationships with our customers. In view of the vibrant market in the mobility industry, this is the basis that Alstom successfully brings to the future: excellence in execution and on-time delivery”, Jörg Nikutta Managing Director for Alstom in Germany and Austria, said.
At the end of 2018, 82 Coradia Lint trains started to transport passengers in Germany. 54 Coradia Lint regional trains started services on the non-electrified lines of Saxony-Anhalt connecting Magdeburg, the capital of the state, with the cities of Wolfsburg and Stendal in the north, Erfurt and Halle in the south, and Goslar in the west. 28 Coradia Lint are also in service around Augsburg for the Transdev subsidiary Bayerische Regiobahn.
30 Coradia Continental EMUs for the Hessische Landesbahn entered passenger service on the network South Hesse-Untermain.
With the last 18 Coradia Nordic regional trains delivered from Salzgitter to Skånetrafiken, the Swedish operator has increased its fleet to a total of 99 trains and operates since December 2018 one of the largest fleets in Sweden.
In addition, over 800 bogies were produced in Salzgitter last year.
In Germany, Alstom employs around 3,000 people at 6 sites, with Salzgitter site being Alstom’s largest in the country as well as at global level.
