A long-term partner for 60 years

Alstom has been present in China for almost 60 years. It is one of the first western companies, which started business in China, much earlier than the diplomatic relationship between China and France (1964). Alstom won its first railway project in 1958, supplying 25 locomotives to Baocheng Line, the first electrified railway in China. Since then, Alstom has been participating in a full range of railway projects in the country, including a complete range of rolling stocks (metro, high speed trains, locomotives and tramway), customised services, infrastructure, and signalling solutions.

To respond to the rapid development of the Chinese railway system, Alstom has had a long-standing commitment to serving Chinese national and urban rail transport markets with its efficient, reliable sustainable and “made in China” solutions. It has established six joint ventures in China to strengthen its localization. They are:

  • CASCO Signal Ltd., the first joint venture in Chinese railway market, established by Alstom and China Railway Signal & Communication Corporation in 1986. Its major scope is to provide signalling systems and services for subway, tramway and mainlines.
  • SATEE (Shanghai Alstom Transport Electric Equipment Co., Ltd.) was established in 1999 by Alstom and Shanghai Electric Group, supplying traction system and equipment to urban transport solutions.
  • CATEE (Chengdu Alstom Transport Electric Equipment Co., Ltd.) is a subsidiary of SATEE, established in early 2017, manufacturing traction systems for urban transport solutions covering markets in central and west part of China.
  • SATCO (Shanghai Alstom Transport Co., Ltd.) was established in 1999 by Alstom and Shanghai Electric Group., focusing on assembly and maintenance of vehicles.
  • Qingdao Alstom Railway Equipment Co., Ltd. was established in 1999 by Alstom and Sifang Rolling Stock Institute, working on production, maintenance and services of dampers.
  • Xi’an Alstom Yongji Electric Equipment Co., Ltd. was established in 2006 by Alstom and CNR Yongji Electric Machine Factory (now CRRC). It manufactures and sells motor equipment and components for different rolling stocks.

 

After China’s Open Reform in 1978, Alstom opened its representative office in Beijing in 1979. So far, Alstom has one 100% owned company, Alstom Investment Ltd. Co, which has offices in Shanghai, Beijing and Chengdu, covering different markets.

  • Meeting today’s needs without compromising tomorrow

    In line with the Alstom 2020 and the Global Sustainability Delivery Plan, Alstom China addresses corporate social responsibility and sustainability issues via the following four pillars.

  • Stakeholder oriented CSR approach

    Alstom China takes CSR actions based on stakeholders’ needs, notably those of local communities and Alstom employees, via the Alstom Foundation and charitable activities.

  • Dedication to sustainable mobility solutions

    Customers in China have steadily increasing needs for sustainable transport solutions, such as those which focus of reducing the weight of solutions, energy saving, and optimization of the life cycle cost. As a global leader promoting sustainable mobility, Alstom continues introducing sustainable transport solutions to China.

  • Commitment to responsible operations

    Alstom China aims to achieve responsible operations via excellent
    Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) performance and sustainable sourcing

    level (on average 0.6) of Injury Frequency Rate 1 (IFR1) over the recent 5
    years. It participates in the Alstom global Zero Deviation Plan audit, and
    has achieved good results since 2012.
