French railway firm Alstom has expanded its partnership with Saudi Railway Company (SAR) through a new deal aimed at strengthening Saudi Arabia's strategic freight corridor that runs from east to west. The five-year technical support and spare part supply agreement (TSSSA) worth SAR300 million will provide SAR with technical assistance, spare parts, and tailored staff training programs. Alstom and SAR have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to develop hydrogen train solutions for Saudi Arabia, contributing to the enhancement of the east-west corridor's efficiency and reliability. Alstom's HealthHub digital platform will be utilized to digitize maintenance processes and monitor diesel locomotives in real-time, ensuring optimal operational performance. This partnership reflects a shared vision with SAR to advance Saudi Arabia's transportation sector in alignment with Vision 2030, the country's ambitious development plan. By introducing cutting-edge technologies and knowledge transfer, Alstom aims to create a competitive and sustainable railway industry in Saudi Arabia while enhancing local expertise and talent. The collaboration will provide hands-on experience to SAR's engineers and technicians, strengthening their capabilities and supporting the kingdom's growth plans. Alstom, known for its global presence with over 150,000 vehicles in commercial service, is committed to innovation and sustainability. The company's involvement in the development of the world's first hydrogen train, the Coradia iLint, underscores its leadership in pioneering eco-friendly transportation solutions. As a member of the Breakbulk Global Shipper Network, Alstom continues to play a key role in engineering, manufacturing, and producing project cargo. The upcoming meet-up of BGSN members at Breakbulk Middle East in Dubai shows the company's active participation and engagement in the industry.
