new offices, which gather the 3 Alstom sectors, unify the image
of the group in the city, since Alstom will have the first 5

the two important projects in progress: modernization of 25
trains for Mexico metro line 8 and the whole electromechanical
system (signaling) for the new line 12 of the Citys
Metro System. He stressed that Alstom Transport had to seize
opportunities in the Mexican market, especially in the Mexico
city area, where important tenders for mass transport systems
such as trams and suburban trains will be launched during the
next couple of years.

for Transport in TGS (infrastructures) and TLS (maintenance
activities). Alstom Transport, besides Mexico city metro
