Revenue and backlogs of orders in railway industry: 2023 results
The new geopolitical conditions are no longer having a major impact on the industry, as evidenced by the dynamics of changes in revenues and backlogs of orders of the major players in the rolling stock market. Manufacturers have already adapted, and even Russian companies are reporting revenue growth in local currency. Many players achieved record order numbers and volumes last year. In Europe, one of the most significant deals is expected to be the sale of Talgo, which is performing very well in this context.

Alstom hydrogen trains in Germany face more serious problems
The authorities of the Hochtaunus district in the state of Hesse are highly critical of both the rolling stock and the technology, stressing that the faults have not been rectified for almost a year.
As reported by the Frankfurter Neue Presse, most of the 27 Coradia iLint two-car trains delivered to the region are now out of service due to technical problems. Ulrich Krebs, head of the Hochtaunus district and chairman of the RMV supervisory board, told German media that the Coradia iLint’s hydrogen technology was “obviously fundamentally unreliable”.

Germany loses rail rolling stock production to USA and India
As Christian Kaeser, Global Head of Tax at Siemens, recently said, it does not pay to invest in the company’s home country. As for Alstom, many of its German rolling stock production facilities, acquired as part of its takeover of Bombardier Transportation, also await closure and re-profiling.
In the face of Germany’s current problems, major companies are cutting back on investment in the EU’s largest economy and taking measures to make the most of the disadvantageous conditions. In the midst of this downturn, their facilities in the US, India and other countries are actively developing, winning new orders and meeting localisation requirements.
