Top: Alstom is expanding further in Portugal
Good pick for Alstom. Tuesday, November 28, the Portuguese Railways company selected the French railway manufacturer and its local partner Domingos da Silva Teixeira to deliver 117 multiple units, for an amount estimated at 819 million euros according to the Lusa press agency. 62 trains dedicated to urban service and 55 trains to the regional network are planned.
Portugal is not an unknown territory for Alstom, which estimated last year that two out of three trains in circulation in the country came from its workshops. The French company, which opened an innovation center in the Porto region in September 2022, might also build a 20,000 m² factory as part of the contract it has just won.
