The new Engineering Centre is part of Alstom’s global service hub and includes a real laboratory for software testing in partnership with Alstom’s labs in Madrid and Rome. This laboratory will enable crucial testing to be conducted in Türkiye, including software assessments for the metro and mainline lines. The Centre will also provide training courses for our customers, to help them develop their workforce and ensure we continue to build strong rail expertise in the country.

This move not only provides meaningful train and hire opportunities for talents but also strengthens our capacity to better serve our customers in Türkiye and beyond,” said Boris Symchowicz, VP, Signalling and Infrastructure for the AMECA region at Alstom.
