Alstom SA makes railway equipment and systems. It designs and builds high-speed trains, regional trains, metros, trams, and locomotives, and it also sells rail signaling, control systems, and maintenance services. Its customers are mainly passenger rail operators, city transit agencies, freight rail companies, and governments that buy or upgrade rail networks.

The company earns money by selling new trains and rail infrastructure projects, then by supporting those assets over time with spare parts, repairs, software updates, and long-term maintenance contracts. That mix matters because rail buyers often want one supplier to deliver the train or signaling system and keep it running safely for many years. Alstom also works on large, customized projects, so each sale can include engineering, installation, and after-sales service.

What makes Alstom’s business different is that it sits at the center of rail systems rather than just making vehicles. A train only moves passengers if the trackside signals, onboard controls, power systems, and maintenance support all work together, and Alstom sells many of those pieces. That gives it a role as both a manufacturer and a long-term service partner in public transport and freight rail.
