photo: Bombardier/The deal between Alstom and Bombardier it slows down a bit
In the summer of 2020, the European Commission agreed to merge Alstom and Bombardier Transportation, subject to the sale of part of the business to these companies by July 31, 2021. In particular, Alstom, which completed the acquisition of Bombardier Transportation in January 2021. ., promised to sell the plant in Reichsofen in northern France, where Coradia polyvalent trains are assembled, and the part of the plant in Henigsdorf, which produces the Talent 3 electric trains.
Alstom has not yet been able to reach a final agreement on the sale of companies in Henigsdorf and Reichsofen with a buyer, the Czech company Škoda Transportation.
This means that, in theory, the European Commission could cancel the deal between Alstom and Bombardier for the sale of Bombardier Transportation, although the European Commission has never made such decisions before. The European Commission will take into account the situation in Alstom if the French company fulfills its obligations in a relatively short time.
