Alstom Wins €800m Rolling Stock Order in AMECA Region

France's Alstom has won a rolling stock order worth €800m in the AMECA region, the company announced on July 2, 2026. The contract forms part of a larger €2.75bn multinational systems agreement.

The order strengthens Alstom's footprint across the Africa, Middle East and Central Asia (AMECA) region, where the French manufacturer has pursued growth in both new systems and fleet renewals. The €800m figure represents Alstom's share of the broader €2.75bn package, though the company has not disclosed which countries, operators or rolling stock types are covered.

Alstom's statement confirmed the award as a rolling stock order but provided no detail on fleet size, vehicle configuration, delivery timeline or technical specifications. The AMECA designation spans a diverse geographic area including North Africa, the Gulf states and Central Asian republics, each with distinct gauge, electrification and operational requirements.

The broader €2.75bn contract value indicates a multi-component systems deal likely encompassing rolling stock, signalling, maintenance or infrastructure elements across several national networks. Alstom has supplied metro, commuter and intercity fleets to operators in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Morocco and Qatar in recent years, alongside signalling upgrades on legacy networks.

The company reported the order on July 2, 2026, adding it to a backlog that stood at €86.5bn at the end of fiscal 2025. Alstom operates manufacturing sites in Egypt and South Africa within the AMECA region, alongside a service network across the Middle East. The firm has not stated whether the new order will be fulfilled at regional facilities or from European plants.
