Alstom cuts 2026–2027 production forecast amid European rail delays
What happened
Alstom announced on November 2, 2026, that it has cut its annual train production forecast for the 2026–2027 financial year. The company now expects to manufacture approximately 4,000 railcars, down from previous targets of 4,400 to 4,500. This reduction is attributed to industrialization problems, additional testing requirements, and longer certification procedures affecting new rolling stock projects in Europe, including the Coradia Max platform.

Why it matters
The delays and production cuts affect the supply of rolling stock for railway projects across Europe. The issues, which include technical problems and prolonged approval procedures, could postpone planned railway capacity improvements. The Coradia Max platform is cited as a major source of Alstom's current manufacturing and financial difficulties.
