It will represent nearly EUR 800 million in 2017, in a context where the number of passengers and trains continues to increase: + 3% of per year, almost 7% in the first half of 2016. To carry out such a volume of work on one of the most widely circulated networks in the world, SNCF Réseau innovates by joining forces with the best experts in the railway industry.
For the Île-de-France region alone, more than EUR 1 billion is invested in partner companies, both for works, studies and the purchase of raw materials. SNCF Réseau is thus a leading player in the industrial sector in Île-de-France.
