Alta velocidade: Alstom usa conforto, experiência e Guifões para vender comboios a Portugal

Alstom presents the Avelia Stream train, emphasizing comfort and experience to compete for the Lisbon-Porto line contract. The train features a 2+2 seating configuration, contrasting with Talgo's 3+2, enhancing passenger comfort. Alstom's extensive experience in high-speed trains since the TGV's launch in 1981 supports its bid. The Avelia Stream will be manufactured in Italy, with potential production in Guifões, Portugal. Alstom aims to solidify its commitment to Portugal, having previously won a contract for regional trains. The competition for high-speed trains will conclude before summer 2027, with Alstom ready to deliver by 2031.
