Alstom is supplying two variants of the train: 130-metre long, 7-car trainsets for the RER D line, and 112-metre long versions for the RER E.<\/p>\n<p>RER NG trains have been in service on the RER E line since November 2023 and on RER D since December 2024. This new tranche of vehicles will allow \u00cele-de-France to both expand and modernise its commuter rail offering, supporting higher capacity and an improved passenger experience on one of the region\u2019s most heavily used lines.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"article__quote\"><p>Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Wiscart, President of Alstom France said:<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__quote-text\">Alstom is delighted with this announcement, which confirms the confidence of \u00cele-de-France Mobilit\u00e9s and SNCF Voyageurs in this new and innovative rolling stock, designed and assembled at our Valenciennes and Crespin sites, in the North of France.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The double-decker RER NG features a fully open boa architecture, combining single- and double-deck cars with wide doors to speed up boarding and alighting.

More than 320 kilometres of cabling run through each train, underlining the complexity of the onboard systems.<\/p>\n<p>The trains are being designed and assembled at Alstom\u2019s sites in Valenciennes-Petite For\u00eat and Crespin in northern France, with components supplied by facilities in Ornans, Tarbes, Le Creusot, Petit-Quevilly, Villeurbanne, and Saint-Ouen.
