The Alstom group has adjudicated the contest indetta from Trenitalia for the supply of 70 elettrotreni one-floor (with option for ulterior 20 conveys), that it constitutes a tranche of about three billions of euro of total investments dedicated from the Italian group railway to the regional transport that preview also the acquisition of 20 elettrotreni to high frequentation (with option for ulterior 20 convey) and 40 diesel trains (with option for ulterior 20 convey). Trenitalia has specified that the others two supplies are not adjudicated because the introduced offers did not answer, for costs and times, to the requirements and the engagements sign in contracts of service between Trenitalia and the Regions.
The production of the 70 elettrotreni one-floor will happen exclusively in Italy, in the three sites of the Railway Alstom to Savigliano (Cuneo), Sesto San Giovanni and Bologna, with the involvement of about 2.100 operating resources in the three plants, besides those assets in induced consisting.

"Trenitalia and the group FS - it has emphasized the railway company - confirm so fundamental volani of development for the economy and the national industry, activating a vituous circuit, in the current difficult conjuncture, with fallen back positive, in some month, on the quality of the travel of thousands of pendular ones".
