Alstom has secured a CAD2.3bn (approx €1.4bn) contract to supply 70 six-car New Subway Trains to Toronto’s TTC, with options for 150 more and creating 945 jobs in Canada. It also signed a €500m deal to deliver and maintain 26 Coradia Max double-decker EMUs for Baden-Württemberg by 2028.

1. Alstom Secures CAD 2.3 Billion Contract for Toronto Subway Fleet

On 15 January 2026, Alstom signed a CA$2.3 billion agreement with the Toronto Transit Commission to supply 70 six-car New Subway Trains for Lines 1 and 2, with options for up to 150 additional trainsets. Fifty-five trains will replace the existing fleet on Line 2, while 15 units will serve the Line 1 extension to Yonge North and the Line 2 extension to Scarborough. The contract mandates Canadian design and engineering, final assembly in Thunder Bay and testing in Kingston, and is expected to generate 945 direct jobs—over 600 at Alstom—and some 1,700 indirect positions across Ontario’s rail supply chain.

2. Additional €500 Million Order for Coradia Max Trains in Baden-Württemberg

Alstom has been awarded a €500 million contract for 26 extra Coradia Max double-deck EMUs and a full-service maintenance agreement running through 2055 by the Landesanstalt Schienenfahrzeuge Baden-Württemberg. These four-car, 200 km/h trains, each with 380 seats, free Wi-Fi, phone-charging ports and barrier-free access, will enter service from December 2026. They join 130 units ordered in May 2022, with deployment on Stuttgart-Bodensee Regionalexpress and Metropolexpress routes. The maintenance deal leverages Alstom’s FlexCare Perform model, underpinning long-term fleet reliability and lifecycle cost control.
