Alstom is a mobility technology leader in the U.S., with a history dating back more than 170 years. Alstom transfers technology and localizes manufacturing to create new, sustainable, high-tech engineering and industrial jobs across the country to serve a growing customer list, including major American cities, transit agencies, railroads, and airport transit systems. Its history is steeped in its experience building and repairing rail cars and locomotives, supplying signaling solutions and turnkey transit systems, and providing a complete range of customized services. To date, Alstom has delivered more than 12,000 new or renovated vehicles for U.S. customers and more than 50% of signaling for North America’s railroads.
Michael Keroullé is President of Alstom’s Americas Region. He joined Alstom following the company’s acquisition of Bombardier Transportation in 2021. Previously, he was President & CEO of General Electric Steam Power, a $4.5 billion business with 10,000 employees in sixty countries and a global leader for large systems and services in the energy sector.
Josée Ouellet, based in Sainte-Julie, QC, CA, is Head of Services Alstom Americas at Alstom, bringing experience from previous roles at Bombardier.
James Gillespie is Alstom’s Head of Automated People Mover (APM) – Airports. He started his career at Delta Airlines, spending a decade in several Engineering roles. He then held several ascending leadership roles with Zodiac Aerospace in his 14-year tenure before finally moving to Bombardier Transportation in 2015, acquired by Alstom in 2021.
In 1971, Alstom installed the world’s first automated people mover system at Tampa airport, U.S. Since then, Alstom has continued to deliver airport people mover solutions, supporting now a total of twenty-six airports around the globe, including twelve of the world’s busiest airports. Allowing for the shortest headways and ensuring the highest availability rates, Innovia APMs are a perfect fit for frequent airport operations. The trains are single cars coupled for very flexible operations, and additional cars can be added during operations to increase capacity during peak hours.
Railcars are still central to Alstom’s business; however, the company has added additional green transportation solutions. Alstom is a sustainable mobility technology leader in the U.S., providing rolling stock, signaling, maintenance, and even operations for America’s great cities and agencies, including New York City, Chicago, Atlanta, Washington, D.C., New Jersey Transit, BART, and Amtrak, as well as America’s largest and busiest airports.
Alstom is a global technology leader with solutions to meet the unprecedented need for sustainable mobility in the United States. Alstom is helping its customers seize the momentum to prioritize sustainable mobility and deliver dependable, equitable, sustainable mobility services. Alstom is working with its partners to create a solid, sustainable U.S. rail industry with world-class manufacturing capability and robust and resilient supply chains. Governments, manufacturers, train owners, and operators, along with infrastructure owners and maintainers, are working to achieve the same objectives – increase passenger numbers, improve the reliability of the railway, and raise revenue while meeting committed net-zero targets. However, the mobility industry, particularly rail, remains underinvested, impacting the entire value chain, from supply to resources, capital expenditure planning, and state-of-good-repair. Alstom continues to focus on how best to expand the high-speed rail (HSR) technologies and network across the U.S. It is the first to build HSR equipment in the U.S. at its Hornell, New York facility, which has created more than 1,300 jobs in ninety different communities and a robust supply chain domestically and abroad and continues to lead the industry in the transport of airport passengers in the U.S., through our Automated People Mover system, (APM).
One of the most important milestones reached occurred in December of 2023, which marked the 20th anniversary of Alstom’s partnership with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to operate and maintain the AirTrain at JFK International Airport, which now carries over 70,000 passengers each day and a whopping twenty million each year! AirTrain JFK has consistently maintained high-performance levels, having traveled over five million miles in the last two decades. This is a testament to Alstom’s maintenance and operations teams of over 250 dedicated professionals.
