Good news for Alstom in Belfort: SNCF orders 15 new trains

Faced with the growth in rail traffic, 15 new generation TGVs, “Avelia Horizon”, have been ordered by SNCF from the Alstom plant in Belfort, for an amount of nearly 590 million euros. The first trains will be produced next year and deployed over ten years, a contract that would sustain the site for several years. "Avelia Horizon" consists of two innovative power cars of reduced length, combining high performance and compactness, and articulated cars with two floors. Their design allows for a 20% increase in passenger space, allowing the train to accommodate up to 740 passengers in the most efficient configuration.
