Alstom's contribution to Gulf rail development:

The Gulf region is accelerating its advancement, with visionary goals driving rapid execution. Mobility has evolved from a secondary concern to a crucial element of economic transformation.

From Riyadh to Doha, modern rail networks are being established not only as infrastructure projects but also as powerful symbols of progress. Alstom has emerged as a vital partner in this transformative journey.

Alstom's commitment is evident through landmark initiatives across the region, including:

• Dubai Metro Route 2020: Featuring 50 Metropolis driverless trainsets and a fully integrated system, covering 15 million kilometers and serving approximately 1 million passengers daily
• Dubai Tramway: The first 100% catenary-free system in the Gulf (APS), equipped with platform screen doors and 24 kilometers of Alstom signalling, with around 25,000 daily riders and a one-third reduction in service-impacting failures since 2020
• Lusail Tramway in Qatar: The largest tram system in the Gulf, spanning 34 kilometers and utilizing 28 Citadis X05 trams, with about 23,000 passengers per day recorded during the World Cup in 2022
• Riyadh Metro, Jeddah Airport People Mover, and AlUla Tramway: Projects that enhance automation, reliability, and sustainable urban mobility.
• Decarbonization leadership: Alstom's contributions to COP28 research highlight that expanding rail networks by 192,000 kilometers could prevent 1.8 gigatons of CO2 emissions by 2050. Notably, rail transportation accounts for 8% of passengers and 7% of freight while only demanding 2% of the transport energy.

Alstom stands as a key driver in shaping a sustainable and efficient mobility landscape in the Gulf, contributing to both economic growth and environmental stewardship.
