Alstom has launched the production of bogies for regional trains, metros and trams at the new Nadarzyn site near Warsaw with the cost of investment of more than EUR 10 million. The first bogies have already rolled off the production line and it is expected that the annual production capacity will be to up to 3000 bogies.
“Our new Nadarzyn site is an example of further investments being done by Alstom in Poland. Ultimately in Nadarzyn we will hire 200 people and we are aiming at producing 1800 train bogies a year, that is three times more than today in Piaseczno. Technically, we will be able to produce up to 3000 bogies a year,” Sławomir Cyza, CEO and Managing Director of Alstom in Poland, Ukraine and Baltic States said.
In the near future the site will also perform the maintenance of high-speed train bogies for up to 250 km/h and it will be the first high-speed train bogies service centre in Poland.
The new site will take over the production of bogies from the existing Alstom sites in Piaseczno and Wrocław. A production hall with four cranes and office spaces have been built on the area of over one hectare.
At the new Nadarzyn site 200 people will be employed including fitters, mechanics, electricians, turners, painters, quality control specialists and administrative staff.
Alstom has been gaining expertise in the construction of bogies in Poland for many years. In Piaseczno, it has been performing the overhauls of Pendolino bogies and has produced bogies for regional trains. Bogies produced in Poland are parts of Coradia Stream electric multiple units assembled, among others, in Chorzów, most of them being exported.
The French manufacturer employs over 4000 people in 11 sites across Poland offering a complete range of products and services from rolling stock for high-speed and metro applications, monorail, trams to infrastructure and signalling systems, as well as digital mobility solutions.
