Alstom receives an order from Proxima
for 12 Avelia Horizon very high-speed trains, including 15 years of
maintenance
- Proxima, the first
independent company to enter the high-speed market in France, has
signed a firm order for 12 Avelia Horizon very high-speed
trains
- This order includes 15
years of maintenance in a workshop designed and built by Liséa and
located in Marcheprime, near Bordeaux
3 October 2024 – Alstom, global
leader in smart and sustainable mobility, will supply 12 Avelia
Horizon very high-speed trains to Proxima and provide 15 years of
maintenance on the lines along the Atlantic coast in France. The
total order is worth almost 850 million euros1. First
deliveries are expected in 2028.
Leveraging on 40 years’ experience of high-speed
trains in commercial service, Alstom’s Avelia Horizon very
high-speed train is the latest generation of double-decker train
capable of travelling at speeds exceeding 300 km/h. It offers great
operational flexibility and guarantees high levels of safety and
passenger experience. It is made up of two innovative short-length
power cars, combining high performance and compactness, and
articulated double-decker cars.
Avelia Horizon reduces operating costs. The
train has fewer bogies, which account for 30% of the cost of
preventive maintenance. With the largest passenger capacity in the
market, Avelia Horizon offers great level of service and comfort,
and consequently lowers operating costs per seat.
A partner of choice
Proxima, the launch of which has been announced in June 2024, is
headed by two leading figures in the railway industry: Rachel
Picard and Tim Jackson. It is fully financed by Antin
Infrastructure Partners, backed by a consortium of leading French
and international banks. Its very high-speed trains would serve
Bordeaux, Nantes, Rennes, Angers and Paris, for journeys of 2 hours
or less.
A product designed and manufactured in
France

project:
