Alstom has secured a €1 billion contract to supply SNCF Voyageurs with 60 additional new-generation RER trains for lines RER D and RER E of the Île-de-France network. The order, funded entirely by Île-de-France Mobilités, is the first option in the framework contract signed in 2017 between SNCF Voyageurs and Alstom. The new order brings the total number of RER NG trains to 131, supporting Île-de-France Mobilités' policy to modernize the region's rolling stock.

Designed to optimize capacity and passenger flow, the RER NG train offers three distinct travel spaces suitable for different journey lengths. The train features wide doors and open architecture, as well as designated wheelchair areas. Improved comfort levels include air conditioning, LED lighting, USB sockets, and ample information screens, while seating has been designed with passenger comfort in mind.

The RER NG train promises higher availability, reliability, and safety. Capable of carrying up to 1,860 passengers in a seven-car version, the train incorporates innovations that reduce energy consumption by 25% compared to previous generations. The first trials on the Île-de-France network have commenced, with tests on line RER D set to begin soon.
