− Possibility to convert a freight locomotive into a passenger locomotive 

− Increase the residual value of the locomotive 

• Interoperability 

− Strong experience in ETCS level 2, implemented in various locomotives in 

Europe 

• Availability and reliability 

− Use of service-proven sub-systems : traction converters, bogies, which 

have run millions of kilometres 

− One complete independent traction drive per axle which guarantee 75% of 

performance on the locomotive in case of failure on one axle 


Differentiation factors 

• Services

Responsible approach to operations 

(example: installing of collection tanks for fuel and oil in diesel 

locomotives) 


Eco-design 

Reduction of the energy consumption 

Recyclibility (with analysis of particular 

requirements of every country)

Agenda focus 








LCC: three main cost lines 

1. Operational maintenance 

2. Maintenance Support 

3. Site Management 


ALSTOM Maintenance Contract: competitive advantage 

in LCC management 

Advantages of ALSTOM Maintenance Contract Proposal compared 

to LCC 

‣Natural optimisation of the maintenance plan 

− commitment to adapt Maintenance Plan through continuous 

improvements 

− Maintenance Contract takes into account logistics constraints as 

opposed to sole LCC evaluation 

‣Adaptation to local conditions 

− climate, infrastructure requirements, operational constraints 

− theoretical LCC calculation in ideal conditions 

Much stronger commitment than sole LCC evaluation.
