Alpha Trains announced it has received from Alstom the 100th Traxx locomotive under the Global Service Agreement signed in October 2021.
“The rapid increase in the number of locomotives maintained under the Global Service Agreement proves the high quality of Alstom′s service. At Alpha Trains, we are committed to finding the best solutions for our customers, and this partnership enables us to provide greater reliability, availability, and flexibility across Europe through preventive and corrective maintenance,” Fernando Pérez, Interim CEO of Alpha Trains Group, said.
The long-term agreement, which covers the maintenance of locomotives on a full-service basis in several countries across Europe, started with 50 locomotives in 2021 and has increased to the 100th Traxx locomotive in less than two years. The high level of performance and quality of maintenance offered by Alstom led to an expansion of the agreement, enabling Alpha Trains to offer a highly reliable fleet of Traxx locomotives in Western and Central Europe.
Today the well-equipped and experimented Alstom sites in Bruges (Belgium), Rotterdam (The Netherlands), Kassel (Germany) and in the maintenance depots along the main corridors contribute to the maintenance of these locomotives.

In addition, the two companies signed in 2022 a long-term agreement for the maintenance of up to 70 freight locomotives to be services at the Benelux Services sites in Rotterdam, Bruges and the depot in Antwerp. This allows Alpha Trains to increase reliability, availability and flexibility for its customers across Europe.
The partnership between Alpha Trains and Alstom reflects their shared commitment to providing sustainable and efficient transport solutions for Europe. By continuously improving the performance and reliability of Traxx locomotives, the companies are contributing to the modal shift from road to rail and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Alpha Trains looks forward to continuing the successful partnership with Alstom providing top-quality maintenance services to its customers in the coming years. Thanks to a large maintenance network in Europe, Alstom has all the assets to accompany this strategy.
