Alstom showcased the industry's most comprehensive locomotive portfolio at the Transport Logistic trade fair in Munich from June 2 to 5, 2025, with the Traxx locomotive platform taking center stage. The platform integrates AI-powered maintenance capabilities and zero-emission shunting retrofitting solutions, aiming to enhance rail operational efficiency and sustainability through technological innovation.
The Traxx platform caters to full-scenario needs from shunting, multi-purpose transport to heavy freight. Its core product, the Traxx Universal multi-purpose locomotive equipped with Alstom's Onvia Cab signaling system, supports seamless cross-border operations and has secured over 300 orders in Europe, highlighting market demand for flexible and efficient solutions. The platform's modular design enables rapid adaptation to different gauges and voltage systems, reducing equipment procurement and maintenance costs for operators.
Alstom's integrated service network is equally notable: backed by a European infrastructure of over 50 maintenance depots and the HealthHub predictive maintenance system, it real-time monitors rail asset conditions. By analyzing standard and intelligent data through AI algorithms, it reduces downtime and repeat failures by 50% while optimizing lifecycle costs. This digital solution has proven reliable in multiple client projects.
In green technology, Alstom unveiled its hydrogen internal combustion engine (H2 ICE) retrofitting solution, which upgrades diesel shunting locomotives to hydrogen power for complete zero-carbon emissions. Each retrofitted locomotive can reduce 3,000 tons of CO₂ emissions over its remaining 15-20-year lifespan. The prototype will launch trial operations at a customer site this summer, marking a tangible step in applying hydrogen energy to rail transport.
