The procurement of new rolling stock represents a significant investment in improving railway services. Alstom's contract with the Office National des Chemins de Fer (ONCF), Morocco's national railway operator, for the supply of Prima M4 electric locomotives, illustrates the global demand for modern, efficient locomotives. This €130 million ($160 million) agreement encompasses not only the supply but also the maintenance and servicing of the locomotives, demonstrating a holistic approach to rolling stock management. Furthermore, Hitachi's contract with Great Western Railway (GWR) for two new express trains highlights the increasing adoption of advanced technologies. These dual-mode trains, capable of operating on both diesel and electric power, demonstrate a commitment to efficient and environmentally conscious rail transportation. This procurement reflects the industry's drive toward greater operational flexibility and reduced environmental impact.
