26
April 2023 - Alstom will supply SNCF Voyageurs
with 60 additional new generation RER trains, for lines RER D and
RER E of the Île-de-France network, for a total of almost 1 billion
euros1.
Financed 100% by Île-de-France Mobilités, this
order represents the first option under the framework contract
signed in 2017 between SNCF Voyageurs (commissioned by
Île-de-France Mobilités) and Alstom, for an estimated requirement
of 255 trainsets. The firm tranche of the RER NG contract included
the delivery of 71 trains; this new order brings the number of RER
NGs ordered to 131.
“We are delighted with this option, which
demonstrates the renewed confidence of SNCF Voyageurs and
Île-de-France Mobilités in Alstom’s RER NG trains. This new
generation train will improve the travel experience of all
Île-de-France residents by providing greater comfort and
reliability,” said Jean-Baptiste Eyméoud, President of Alstom
France.
This contract is part of the policy pursued by
Île-de-France Mobilités to modernise all the rolling stock on the
Île-de-France network. The RER NG is specifically designed for the
dense urban areas that characterise traffic in the Île-de-France
region.
A train with more capacity and
accessibility
This train has been designed, both in terms of
overall architecture and interior design, to optimise capacity and
passenger flow. Thanks to a completely open architecture and to
wide doors, it allows a great fluidity in the entry and exit of
passengers and offers three distinct travel spaces. Each passenger
can choose their space according to the length of their
journey.
- For example,
platform areas for standing passengers can be selected when the
journey is very short, as it allows for easy movement, like in a
metro;
- whereas low mixed
areas (standing or seated) are ideal for a journey of less than 20
minutes;
- and, on the upper
level, spaces with regional-type comfort and more seats are
available for longer journeys.
Additionally, in each of the end cars, platforms
allow wheelchair passengers direct and rapid access to their
dedicated areas.
A more comfortable train
The train has been designed to provide an
improved level of comfort. It includes the following features: air
conditioning, LED lighting adapted to the time (day/night/stopover
at stations), USB sockets and numerous screens allowing passengers
to have quick access to relevant information. Particular attention
has also been paid to the seating to ensure ultimate comfort levels
for passengers.
A more reliable and efficient
train
Developed from Alstom's urban and suburban
equipment solutions and enriched by customer feedback, the RER NG
will guarantee the highest levels of availability, reliability and
safety. Each train will be able to carry up to 1,860 passengers in
a 7-car version. Several innovations will reduce energy consumption
by 25% compared to previous generations of equipment. In
particular, the RER NG has 8 motor bogies which provide better
acceleration and deceleration performance (under regenerative
braking) than previous generations, an undeniable advantage for
operations.
The first trials have started
on the national railway network in
Île-de-France
The first trains delivered are currently
enabling SNCF Voyageurs to carry out the first integration tests on
line RER E. Tests on line RER D will start soon.
