Alstom has announced that it has closed the sale of its North American conventional signalling business to Knorr-Bremse AG, following the binding agreement signed on 19 April 2024.
This divestiture was part of the comprehensive company action plan that Alstom announced on 15 November 2023, aimed at reinforcing its balance sheet. Alstom has delivered all three components of that plan, and it results in the stabilisation of its Investment Grade rating.
Alstom will continue to serve the North American signalling market on different segments, notably with Communications Based Train Control (CBTC) and European Train Control System (ETCS) solutions.
