18 August
2022 – Alstom, global leader in
smart and sustainable mobility, has received an additional order
for 15 new-generation Avelia Horizon very high-speed trains from
SNCF1 Voyageurs, worth almost 590 million euro.
The trains ordered are the new generation
4-voltage high-speed trains, which meet the requirements of
European traffic. The Avelia Horizon portfolio reaches ambitious
objectives in terms of competitiveness in the rail sector and
profitability for SNCF Voyageurs, with a total acquisition cost
that is 20% lower than the previous generation.
Avelia Horizon consists of two innovative
short-length, high-performance and compact-power cars, and
articulated double-deck coaches. Their design allows for a 20%
increase in passenger capacity, enabling the train to accommodate
up to 740 passengers when using the most efficient
configuration.
Maintenance costs will be over 30% lower than
those currently recorded by SNCF Voyageurs in France. The train's
maintainability is considered from the design phase, with a remote
diagnostic system allowing predictive maintenance, which improves
the trains’ reliability and availability. Many components have been
optimised to simplify, reduce and allow longer intervals between
maintenance interventions. Thanks to its aerodynamic design and
more efficient traction, the new generation of high-speed trains
will consume 20% less energy than existing high-speed trains.
“This order once again seals the success of very
high-speed trains and of the Avelia Horizon platform. This solution
meets the technological, economic and competitive challenges of
SNCF, in an environment of strong passenger demand for low-carbon
mobility solutions,” said Jean-Baptiste Eyméoud, President of
Alstom France.
This is the second optional tranche from the
Avelia Horizon innovation partnership framework agreement for this
new generation of very high-speed trains, completing the 100 trains
order by SNCF Voyageurs for commercial operation in France.
