The high and very high-speed sector, which is booming in all continents, constitutes one of the most promising fi elds in the railway market. Operators’ needs and technical constraints differ greatly from one country to another. To provide a response to this increasing demand and to this variety of requests, Alstom is the only manufacturer to offer the widest range of proven technical confi gurations on the market, including articulated and non-articulated trains, tilting technology, single and double-decker architecture and concentrated and distributed power. The range, designed to carry passengers at high speeds (up to 360 km/h) in the greatest comfort and safety, also offers operators all the modularity they require in terms of capacity.

Metropolis, Megacity, Megalopolis... All of these terms aptly describe the exponential growth in urban populations. In 2012, half of the world's people live in urban areas; by 2030, city dwellers will represent two thirds of the population. This is a major change to which every operator must adjust. When it comes to improving the capacity, operating frequency and safety of their fleets - constantly bearing in mind their concern for sustainable development - rail service providers can choose from multiple options: constructing or modernising metro and tramway lines, improving signalling, acquiring new railcars or renovating old ones.
Métropole, Mégapole, Mégalopole… Autant de termes qui décrivent parfaitement la trajectoire exponentielle des populations urbaines. En 2012, un homme sur deux habite en ville. Deux sur trois seront des citadins à l’horizon 2030. Il s’agit d’un bouleversement majeur que doivent anticiper tous les opérateurs. Construction ou modernisation de lignes de métro et de tramway, amélioration de la signalisation, acquisition ou rénovation de voitures… De multiples voies s’offrent à eux afin d’optimiser la capacité, le cadencement et la sécurité de leurs flottes dans un souci permanent de développement durable.
