Service Overview
Life time extension for trains
Although a fleet’s length of life is generally more than thirty years, trains in mid-life often have to be renovated to meet changing customer expectations, new regulations, sustainability policy or tackle rises in operating and maintenance costs as trains get older.
Improving performances
For example, the modernisation of the Mexico metro’s traction system increased its reliability and availability twenty times and reduced energy consumption by over 40%.
Modernising infrastructure
Thanks to its comprehensive knowledge of the rail industry, Alstom also offers modernisation solutions dedicated to infrastructures or signalling.
