Ferromex, a private rail operator in Mexico, has awarded Alstom a contract to provide preventive, predictive and corrective maintenance for 219 freight locomotives for a five-year period.
Under the contract, Alstom’s services will include the application of Condition Based Maintenance technologies and oil and vibration analyses. The locomotives were originally manufactured by Electromotive Diesel Corporation and GE.
“We are honored that Ferromex, for whom we are maintaining more than half of its locomotives, is renewing its trust in Alstom’s services,” said Rodelmar Ocampo, managing director of Alstom Mexico. “This award also illustrates Alstom’s commitment to support Mexico’s mobility projects for more efficient, more reliable, more sustainable transport network.”
The locomotives will be maintained at Ferromex depots located in Torreon, Chihuahua and Guadalajara. The project is expected to generate 150 direct jobs.
