20 years of Alstom in Hungary 

Alstom has been present in Hungary for more than 20 years and is one of the largest suppliers of metro trains in the country, providing 50% of Budapest’s metro trains for lines 2 and 4. Budapest Metro Line 4 is the first driverless metro in operation in Central and Eastern Europe. In January 2021, Alstom added to its portfolio the long-standing Mátranovák factory, specialising in bogie frame manufacturing. Thanks to Alstom’s strong signalling expertise in on-board ERTMS solutions, 59 MÁV-Start trains are being converted to operate on ETCS standard. Alstom is a global mobility leader, providing a full portfolio of rolling stock, signalling and maintenance solutions, including green mobility innovations such as the world’s first hydrogen train Coradia iLint.
