As a world leader in sustainable mobility, Alstom play a key role in the Spanish rail sector and will be taking part in the Rail Live! 2021 event in Madrid, running from the 30th of November to the 1st of December.

The event will see Alstom display a full-scale model of the future trains for Barcelona Metro at their booth, and will also take part in panels and presentations regarding efficient and sustainable energy, multimodal, inclusive mobility, automatisation and metro systems. Alstom will also attend meetings to showcase their ongoing commitment to sustainable, inclusive, safe, healthy and efficient mobility.

At present, the impressive new trains are being manufactured at Alstom’s industrial centre in Santa Perpètua, Barcelona, and will feature the very latest in comfort, efficiency and sustainability, with the highest level of recyclability at 96.1%, low energy consumption, and adhering to the strict regulations regarding the use of materials.

The new trains can be reconfigured throughout their working life to give either the cabin version or the automatic version (GOA4), which provides driverless operation. The innovative design also includes the maximum requirements and advances to bring the best comfort onboard, connectivity and universal accessibility, through a collaboration with the Fundación ONCE.

Leopoldo Maestu, Alstom Managing Director for Spain and Portugal, said:

“At Rail Live 2021 we want to share important aspects that, as a company, we have integrated into our strategy to lead innovation for more sustainable and smarter mobility. In our projects and strategy, it is key that the development of new products are increasingly greener and more efficient, safe, diverse and committed to the operators and travellers’ needs. We seek to promote the development of a liveable and viable society, mobility and cities. This is our commitment,”

The exhibit will see Alstom’s experts from differing fields within the company such as Leopoldo Maestu from Alstom MD Spain and Portugal, Eddy Thesee from Alstom VP Cybersecurity Products and Solutions, Paloma Moran from Alstom VP Urban Platform, David Moskowicz who is Head of Mobility Orchestration & Passenger Flow Solution and Jaime Borrell from Alstom in Spain Business Development Director.
