Alstom decides to withdraw its request for suspension of
the Transilien trains tender

Alstom and Bombardier have been in negotiations to decide
how they might cooperate on this project. Alstom has decided to
withdraw its request from the current legal procedure after an
agreement with Bombardier on the terms of this cooperation has
been reached. The agreement covers part of the engineering
work, the assembly of a substantial number of the cars and the
supply of part of the bogies. Alstoms share is estimated
to be around a third of the global contract. It should be
performed with a reasonable margin.



Alstom preferred to find a business solution rather than
continuing the current legal process to avoid delaying the
renewal of the Transilien trains, eagerly awaited by the
residents of Ile de France. Alstom strongly wished to further
strengthen its working relationship with the SNCF, Alstom
Transports most important customer, to the benefit of
both parties. In addition, Alstom wanted to increase workload
in its French plants of Le Creusot and Reichshoffen.
