As the rail industry requires increasingly efficient and reliable solutions, Alstom is perfectly positioned to offer a broad portfolio of premium components and solutions. Designed for any rolling stock application, including non-Alstom trains, our components portfolio responds to increased performance needs and helps elevate the operational performance of any fleet and customer.
With over 50 years of experience and references in more than 60 countries, Alstom's global presence enables the company to understand local customer and market needs and support local manufacturing, maintenance and repairs. Alstom can give customers access to trusted and proven in service expertise and components,?through a dedicated commercial and after sales network close to their premises.
Providing integrated solutions lead to smarter investments and maximised operational efficiency. That is why by leveraging on its expertise as a train manufacturer, Alstom offers a comprehensive system approach for our customers’ fleets that delivers efficient and cost-effective solutions throughout the lifecycle.
For example, Alstom’s switchgear is engineered to ensure efficiency in electrical integration. With over 50 years of switchgear engineering experience, our switchgear solutions are designed to optimise the entire traction system, for all-the-more robust electrical performance that enhances operational safety.
Applying the silicon carbide (SiC) technology alongside permanent magnet motor propulsion systems in traction converters and auxiliary converters offers significant benefits, including up to 30% reduction in energy consumption while ensuring quieter operations. These technologies have already been successfully implemented for various metro networks across key cities in the Middle East (e.g., Riyadh, Dubai) and Southeast Asia (Hanoi) as well as Chengdu in China.
The implementation of multi-level topology further enhances Mitrac™ traction system’s performance by optimising the switching losses, enabling smoother and more efficient power delivery to trains.
In addition, our expertise in developing and manufacturing traction systems enables us to provide system level optimisation for our customers.
These energy solutions are not just efficient - they are tailored to fit diverse operational needs, ensuring that customers receive the best traction architecture for specific environments. With Alstom, customers can confidently invest in technology that propels fleets forward while also achieving sustainability targets.
Alstom can provide further efficient operations through its Flexx™ bogies portfolio, designed to provide exceptional performance and cost-effectiveness. For example, the compact Flexx Eco™ bogie, showcases a revolutionary design that significantly reduces weight, resulting in up to 25% savings on lifecycle costs.
With Flexx Smart™ bogies, passenger experience is transformed, with a cutting-edge levelling system which seamlessly adjusts train heights to align with platform levels, ensuring smooth and accessible boarding for everyone.
