9 June
2021 – The consortium made up of Alstom Transport
Mexico, Bombardier Transportation México, Gami Ingeniería e
Instalaciones and Construcciones Urales Procesos Industriales, will
supply Mexico’s Tren Maya, a large-scale intercity railway project
that is set to transform sustainable mobility in the country. The
total value of the contract comes to approximately
€1.3 billion (over Mex$31 billion). The portion for
Alstom-Bombardier amounts to nearly €1 billion.
The winning bid was announced on May 26th by the
National Fund for the Promotion of Tourism (Fonatur), after its
technical committee endorsed the consortium’s operational,
technical, and economic proposals. The factors that determined
Fonatur's decision to select the winning consortium were cost,
degree of national integration, delivery times and design
proposals.
“We are extremely proud to have been selected to
supply the Tren Maya – a train for Mexico, built in Mexico – as
well as its full signalling system. The design of the three types
of trains - Xiinbal, Janal and P'atal - is exclusive to Mexico and
inspired by the Mayan culture, where the majestic jaguar’s lines,
speed and beauty were inspirational elements for the train. The
manufacturing of the Tren Maya will begin immediately, with Mexican
labour, after the signing of the contract,” said Maite Ramos,
General Director of Alstom México.
The consortium led by Alstom-Bombardier will be
responsible for the design, manufacture and commissioning of 42
X’trapolis trains, as well as the full signalling system including
the design, supply and installation of the ETCS1 onboard technology
and over 1,500 km of trackside equipment including ETCS,
interlocking, traffic management and telecommunications systems,
leveraging the complete Alstom portfolio. Moreover, the consortium
is responsible for the construction of the maintenance workshops
and garages and the after-sales service of the system’s
equipment.
Alstom’s new X’trapolis model for Tren Maya will
leverage the group’s manufacturing and engineering potential to
produce a train that is up-to-date, competitive and reliable in the
long term, based on trains which have already proven their merits.
The X’trapolis train is a robust platform with a modular interior -
all configurations are possible from the same lightweight
bodyshell. 5500 X’trapolis cars have been ordered so far in the
world. This train will also use components and expertise
contributed by the former Bombardier, the most outstanding being
its lightweight Flexx Eco bogie, designed for a maximum speed of
176 km/h. More than 8,300 units of the same bogie model have been
ordered or delivered to date in countries including Saudi Arabia,
Sweden, Norway, Germany, and most notably in the United
Kingdom.
The consortium will offer the X’trapolis in
three distinct configurations: the first in a flexible and
comfortable standard service set-up (Xiinbal); the second
prioritising restaurant cars (Janal); and the last in long-distance
sleeper configuration (P’atal). All versions offer passengers ample
legroom at their seats and plenty of space to move around.
Passengers will have more than enough room to store their luggage,
with overhead racks borrowed from Alstom’s intercity train Coradia,
and vertical racks in each car. Since the floor is flat throughout,
passengers with reduced mobility will have full liberty of
movement. In the X’trapolis, passengers will benefit from
high-performance HVAC and wide windows onto the breath-taking
scenery of the Maya region.
Alstom is a major supplier of onboard and
trackside ETCS equipment, representing 70% of the world’s onboard
rail systems in service and 18,000 kilometres of track worldwide
and bringing significant advantages in terms of maintenance cost
savings, safety, reliability, punctuality and traffic capacity.
Tren Maya is a comprehensive 1,525-kilometre
mobility project that aims to develop and connect the southeast of
the country with the Yucatán Peninsula, and will be a great boost
to mobility and economic growth in this region of Mexico. Overall,
the project will generate 4,500 direct and 7,500 indirect jobs,
which will generate significant economic development for the
community. Alstom will manufacture the 42 trains at its Ciudad
Sahagún Hidalgo plant.
