Alstom to supply 30 electric locomotives to
ONCF
8 February 2017
- Alstom has been awarded a contract with ONCF for the supply
of 30 electric Prima locomotives. The contract - which is the
result of an international tender launched by ONCF in March 2017 -
is worth around €130 million. While the 30 locomotives will be
manufactured in Alstom's Belfort plant, the Alstom team in Morocco
will ensure the after sales service and maintenance.
The 30 Prima M4 locomotives have a
nominal power of 5.5 MW, a maximum operating speed of 160 km/h and
operate under 3 KV DC voltage. They can be equipped with ETCS level
1. They require minimum maintenance and provide a high reliability
level and low lifecycle cost thanks to the modular design.
"We are delighted
that ONCF has renewed its confidence in our company and our
products. Thanks to a consolidated and historical partnership based
on mutual trust and a real teamwork spirit with our customer, 20
Prima locomotives have been successfully in service in Morocco
since 2011 and today, with this new contract, our journey continues
and we are proud to contribute to the development of the Moroccan
railway infrastructure", said Brahim Soua, Managing Director of
Alstom in Morocco.
Alstom has been manufacturing
locomotives for more than 100 years with the first electric
locomotive produced in 1926. Today, Alstom has sold more than
3 000 locomotives from its Prima range over the last 20 years.
Alstom offers for the Prima locomotives a complete service to
support operation, including parts supply, heavy maintenance or
full service offers.
Six French sites will participate
in the production of the locomotives: Belfort (manufacturing), Le
Creusot (bogies), Ornans (motors), Petit-Quevilly (transformers),
Tarbes (traction chain components) and Villeurbanne (on board
electronics).
Present in Morocco with 350
employees, Alstom has contributed to several structuring projects,
such as the delivery of Citadis trams to the cities of Rabat and
Casablanca, and 12 Avelia Euroduplex trains for the High Speed Line
which will link Tangier to Casablanca. In its plant in Fez, Alstom
produces cable bundles for rail applications and electrical
switchboxes that are supplied to its European plants and mounted on
trains exported around the world.
