Additional RER NG trains for the RER E line

On 9 December 2024, Alstom signed a contract with SNCF Voyageurs for the supply of  35 additional RER NG trains for the RER E line on the Île-de-France Mobilités network. Worth almost 520 million EUR, this new order was awarded to Alstom by SNCF Voyageurs on behalf of Île-de-France Mobilités. It follows on from the financing voted for by the organising authority last April.

Financed 100 % by Île-de-France Mobilités, this order is part of the framework agreement signed in 2017 between SNCF Voyageurs and Alstom. The firm tranche of the RER NG contract included the delivery of 71 trains. A further 60 EMUs were ordered in 2023. To date, 166 RER NGs have been ordered, including 130 for RER E line and 36 for RER D line. Since November 2023, the first RER NGs have been gradually brought into service on the RER E line. They are due to be deployed on the RER D line by the end of 2024.

The “New Generation” RER is a double-deck stock with a maximum speed of 140 km/h designed for the RER D and RER E lines operated by Transilien SNCF Voyageurs on behalf of Île-de-France Mobilités to improve passenger comfort and regularity on these lines.
