Alstom, the Italian Ministry of Economic Development (MiSE) and the Lombardy and Piedmont Regions signed a MoU for the development of industrial research and experimental development in Alstom sites in Savigliano and Sesto San Giovanni.
The document aims at promoting R&D activities to foster technological progress in the field of railway transport. The project will be implemented with the support of the Ministry of Economic Development and of the Piedmont and Lombardy regions.
The project presented by Alstom responds to the five main features required by the MiSE, ie innovation in the product, in the production process and company’s organizational structure, management of partnerships and services and management of maintenance and assistance.
Alstom will develop the train prototype, the prototype line and the entire project coordination activities in the site in Savigliano. The site in Sesto San Giovanni will be dedicated to the development of traction systems, fire prevention, the control desk and the “control room” for the management of the trains in commercial service.
