The plant’s staff has been informed about the potential sale.

Alstom also told Railway Gazette that the collective agreements at the plant will remain in effect until March 2026.

The Görlitz plant came under Alstom’s management as a result of the acquisition of Bombardier Transportation in 2021.

Currently, the plant produces double-decker electric trains for Israel Railways and Deutsche Bahn, as well as trams for the city of Leipzig.

The plant employs about 700 staff members.

Previously, German publications reported that Alstom plans to move production from Görlitz to facilities in the Polish cities of Katowice and Wrocław after 2026.

The company has stated that it inherited contracts from Bombardier Transportation that are characterized by losses and implementation challenges. As a result, Alstom announced plans to optimize the acquired assets.
