United Kingdom : EUROPORTE forms rail freight partnership with ALSTOM
Publish Date : 28-May-2012
A partnership agreement is been signed between Europorte and Alstom for the maintenance of 17 Prima locomotives manufactured by Alstom and presently operated by Europorte.
Followed by this agreement, both the parties will be responsible for the improvement of the management and availability of the Europorte locomotive fleet. The two are required to analyse current procedures; optimise maintenance cycles, interventions on the locomotives and the equipment of the maintenance sites. Mainly, the association will aim at reducing the transport to depot time and the locomotive down time to generate significant productivity improvements.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Groupe Eurotunnel SA, Jacques Gounon, said, \"This agreement will enable Europorte and Alstom to put their combined experience, as manufacturer and locomotive fleet operator, together thereby ensuring the future of rail freight between Great Britain and the Continent.\"
