Alstom will supply eight additional Régiolis to the Midi-Pyrénées region for a total of approximately 46 million euros, following an initial order for 25 Régiolis placed by the region in 2009.
Upon request by the Midi-Pyrénées region, these trains have been fitted with specific equipment such as passenger counting systems, dedicated storage space for bicycles and luggage, and front-panel displays showing the destinations.
The first Régiolis of the Midi-Pyrénées region entered commercial service in July 2014 on the lines that link Toulouse with Latour-de-Carol and Mazamet.
“This new order is excellent news for the French rail industry and for Alstom Transport’s sites in France. It symbolises the region’s renewed confidence in Alstom and its products,» said Ana Giros, managing director Alstom Transport France.
