• Commitment to the European Commission in relation to the acquisition of Bombardier Transportation

Alstom announced today that it has agreed to divest its Coradia Polyvalent platform, its Reichshoffen production site in France and its TALENT3 platform, currently developed in Hennigsdorf, Germany to CAF.
