Canada: The integration tests of the #ReseauExpressMetropolitain network, conducted by the #TeamAlstom in #Montreal, continue and have reached major milestones in recent weeks. Metro cars now travel from Brossard Station to #CentralStation to carry out different types of tests. Among them, the so-called “carousel” tests, which involve running trains from one end of the line to the other at a high frequency, enable teams to finalize the set-up of signalling features for automatic train control and automatic supervision of the entire network. During integration tests, thousands of equipment and systems (tracks and switches, stations and platform screen doors, electrical power supply, camera and telecommunications, cars, signalling, etc.) must be tested to ensure their operation, together, in a safe manner in nominal mode but also in degraded mode

Last September, @sncf and Alstom unveiled the TGV line of the future in Alstom's workshops in La Rochelle. For the first time, a complete and functional trainset was presented, including the power car and the passenger cars. #mobilitybynature #TGV #trainset #rail

We've demonstrated the highest grade of automation on a shunting locomotive near Breda, the Netherlands, in partnership with Dutch infrastructure manager @prorail and Belgian rail freight operator @lineas_yourfreightforce. This grade of automation, known as GoA4, means fully automated starting, driving, stopping, and handling unanticipated obstacles or events without the direct involvement of any on-train staff during shunting activities. This demonstration concludes a series of tests that are part of an ongoing partnership between Alstom, ProRail and Lineas. #automation

Alstom's presence and commitment in #Portugal continues to grow with the recent inauguration of the Engineering and #Innovation Centre in Maia, Porto district. The new site is already developing #mobility and digital signage solutions for the Portuguese market, such as the Porto Metro yellow line extension. The centre will lead the engineering, technological development and installation of the signalling, safety and control systems for the 3.1 kilometres that will connect Santo Ovídio to Vila d'Este with the south of Porto, adding three new stations to the network. In addition, the new centre also has a clear international focus, as it will participate in developing and supplying solutions for the company's other sustainable and intelligent mobility projects worldwide.

The 1st train #TGVM - Avelia Horizon is on the way to the Czech Republic for its dynamic test phase. In Velim, #TeamAlstom and SNCF Voyageurs will carry out various test phases between now and the summer of 2023: traction tests, pantographs, brakes, toilet operation, safety, and more #highspeed #innovation

👡👞👢👠Red shoes in a factory? That's right, #TeamAlstom in Italy has been working with the Mexican artist @elinachauvet on an art installation featured on six of our sites across Italy to fight violence against women. This installation, made up of shoes of all types, red or painted red, brought by employees to their plant to say stop gender violence, is full of meaning. We are the first company to replicate this event and host it within our production sites. #16Days #zapatosrojos

We have signed a new contract with @elmetrodepanama which includes preventive and corrective maintenance of the rolling stock, signalling and power supply system of Line 2 of the Panama Metro. The 21 km viaduct line with the capacity to transport 16,000 passengers per hour in each direction and designed for a horizon-year capacity of more than 40,000 passengers per hour in one direction, has been operating successfully since April 2019, during which time Alstom has also provided maintenance services. #AlstomServices #maintenance #metro

#TeamAlstom in Italy has been working with Mexican artist Elina Chauvet on an art installation to fight violence against women. Our six Alstom sites in the country are united in this unique, unprecedented, and significant initiative. Each site has replicated the famous installation 'Red Shoes' (Zapatos Rojos), a public art project dedicated to the female universe set up by Mexican artist Elina Chauvet and curated in Italy by artist Monica Pirone to denounce the abuse of women and feminicide. This installation, made up of shoes of all types, red or painted red, brought by employees to their plant to say stop gender violence, is full of meaning. We are the first company to replicate this event and host it within our production sites. #zapatosrojos #16days #stopviolence

Earlier this year, we've successfully supplied & commissioned the signalling, centralised control and driving modes for a section of Cairo Metro Line 3. The traffic flow improved, enabling over 30,000 commuters to travel per hour per direction. #mobilitybynature #metro #signalling #Cairo
