January 2022 – Alstom and Metrorex, Bucharest’s metro
network operator, have signed a contract for maintenance services
for a period of 15 years, following the conclusion of a public
tender. The total value of the contract of €500 million, is
based on an estimated number of kilometres covered by trains in
circulation. The services cover preventive and corrective
maintenance as well as overhauls for a total fleet of 82 trains at
contract signature.
“With this new long-term contract, Alstom will be providing
maintenance services to the Bucharest metro for the next 15 years.
This latest contract with Metrorex is a proof of our customer’s
confidence in our services and we are proud to have been selected
as a long-term service partner. Today, Alstom has more than 50
maintenance contracts worldwide with a duration of 20 years or
beyond, covering more than 35,000 vehicles. We are committed to
deliver maintenance services at the highest standards to provide
passengers with safe, reliable and comfortable journeys,” said
Gian Luca Erbacci, Alstom Europe Region President.
Alstom has been providing uninterrupted maintenance services for
the Metrorex rolling stock since 2004, overhauling both the new and
the old fleets. The company has performed over 60 different types
of refurbishments throughout the trains lifespan, improving both
their performance and passenger comfort. The 82 trains totalling
492 cars have run on average a total distance of 8.5 million
km on an annual basis. Over 350 people work to perform the
maintenance activities.
Following the delivery of the new trains for
Metro Line 5 as a result of a tender awarded last year, the fleet
will be supplemented with at least 13 new Alstom Metropolis trains
starting 2023, and the maintenance contract will be extended to
this additional fleet, with additional jobs to be created.
Alstom is a global leader in maintenance services, with
approximately 15,000 Alstom employees working in maintenance
operations, in more than 40 countries.
Alstom has been active in Romania for almost 30
years and is a market leader in railway electrification and
signalling solutions. The company is responsible for implementing
signalling or electrification solutions on more than 75% of the
northern branch of the Rhine-Danube railway corridor in Romania.
The first CBTC urban signalling solution in the country is under
implementation by Alstom on Bucharest Metro Line 5. In December
2020, Alstom signed a contract for 13 metro trains, with the option
of another 17, for the same Line 5.
