Innotrans: Alstom, the key multi-geographical player on all segments of the rail industry

Alstom Transport will be at the InnoTrans rail show from 21 to 24 September 2010 in Berlin and will be presenting its latest innovations in rolling stock, services, signalling and infrastructure.

The Alstom stand will showcase its offering of products and services, as well as its partnership with TMH. This will provide visitors and the press with an opportunity to get to know Alstom a little better, with various areas of the stand being dedicated to freight stock (Prima II locomotive), urban and suburban trains (Citadis tramways, Citadis Dualis tram-trains, the APS system* , supercapacitors** ), regional trains (Coradia Polyvalent train), high and very high speed. The high and very high speed area is where NTV’s new AGV.Italo will be on show, as well as the New Pendolino and the new Very High Speed platform. This new single level high-capacity platform is entirely interoperable and draws on the very best of Alstom technology and its 30 years of experience with Very High Speed articulated platforms (TGV, TGV Duplex and AGV) and non-articulated High-Speed platforms (Pendolino).

Its signalling solutions (Atlas and Urbalis*** ), services, infrastructures and key turnkey projects (TrainTracer****, Appitrack, Hesop ) will be located in another specific corner.

Philippe Mellier, President of Alstom Transport, will address the press in particular in the afternoon of Tuesday 21 September on the theme of “Alstom Transport’s products and services: results, outlook and development”. Two specially themed workshops run by François Lacôte, Technical Advisor to the President, will follow this conference. They will serve as an opportunity for Alstom to showcase its expertise and its competitive two-level train and “tropicalisation/winterisation” solution for the media .

InnoTrans will also be an opportunity for Alstom to exhibit its New Pendolino trainsets (ETR 610 for the SBB), its regional Coradia Continental trainsets (for E-Netz Regensburg) and its Prima II locomotive (prototype) which people will be able to visit with the company of experts.
