Alstom wins a 300 million euro contract
to equip 2 RER lines in the Île-de-France region with the latest
NExTEO signalling technology
- This 12-year framework
contract is one of the largest signalling contracts ever won in
France
- Alstom’s Urbalis signalling
technology will help infrastructure managers and transport
operators to improve the performance and punctuality of trains on
the RER1 B and RER D lines in the
Île-de-France region.
22 November 2023 – Alstom,
global leader in smart and sustainable mobility, has won a
framework contract worth almost 300 million euro to develop and
deploy the NExTEO signalling system on the RER B and RER D lines in
the Île-de-France region. This contract for a new train automation,
control and supervision system confirms the confidence placed in
Alstom by Île-de-France Mobilités, SNCF Réseau, SNCF Voyageurs and
RATP.
The new NExTEO solution is a CBTC2 signalling
solution that forms part of an overall strategy to modernise and
optimise the infrastructure of these two Express Lines, with one
main objective: to meet the ever-increasing ridership by ensuring
greater reliability of train passages in the common tunnel between
Gare du Nord and Châtelet-les-Halles stations.
NExTEO signalling technology will help to ensure
a high level of performance in the densely populated central Paris
area, while also making it possible to adapt to and manage the less
densely populated areas on the suburban branches of the RER B and
RER D lines, in the Île-de-France region. It also provides
simultaneous control of the operating and interoperability rules
that apply on the SNCF National Railway Network and on the
extensive RATP urban network, particularly on the RER B line to the
south.
“I am delighted with this new order, which
demonstrates the confidence of our long-standing partners in the
products developed by Alstom to improve the performance and
throughput of RER lines B and D in response to the increase in
passenger traffic. With this new contract, Alstom will equip a
total of 350 trains and 100 kilometres of these 2 RER lines, which
are among the busiest in the Île-de-France region,” said
Jean-Baptiste Eyméoud, President of Alstom France.

solution, integration of the signalling system and its deployment
on the Ile-de-France network, as well as technical expertise
support;

on-board CBTC equipment and trackside signalling products, as well
as network, cybersecurity and remote maintenance systems.

of more than 2,200 people with expertise in railway signalling.
