“We believe the future success of Africa will be strengthened by innovative transportation solutions and Alstom is ready to be the preferred partner to answer to local mobility needs.” said Xavier Boisgontier, MD Alstom Southern Africa and CEO for Alstom Ubunye.

Alstom has proven itself to be a key player in the South African rail industry through its two joint ventures with local partners: 3600 rolling stock coaches being built for the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA) at Africa’s largest and recently completed, manufacturing plant – Gibela, a footprint that is strengthened through the adjacent, recently modernized 80000m2 Alstom Ubunye Factory.
