Industrialization of a new generation train in Switzerland

A new generation of double-decker high-speed train has been developed in Switzerland by a rail industry leader in order to meet the growing intercity traffic. ALTEN is assisting with the constructor’s various engineering activities on its sites in Zurich and Villeneuve by deploying teams of highly qualified engineers (7 years of experience on average).

Offering a larger capacity and better acceleration on bends, this new duplex train marks an important step forward in the field of

.

ALTEN’s engineers are contributing to this historic “Made in Switzerland” industrial challenge with the:

• Mechanical design (integration, interior fittings, etc.)
• Industrial method optimization (chrono-analysis, continual improvement, etc.)
• Supply-chain management (logistics flow, procurement, etc.)
• Testing and commissioning (statistical and dynamic tests, etc.)

In order to contribute to the success of this industrial project and quickly form a project team, ALTEN successfully mobilized skilled engineers from

and the

, via the group’s international mobility program, in order to reinforce the Swiss engineering teams.
