Utah state authorities offer the company tax incentives and reduce property taxes. They provide a 10% discount for 25 years if the factory keeps operating.

Since January 2025, the American division of the company gained independence from Swiss headquarters. This move strengthens its position in the USA market and boosts competitiveness.

The factory, opened in 2019, already assembled double-deck electric trains for San Francisco suburbs. Now it prepares to produce battery-powered trains for Chicago and hydrogen trains for California.

Additionally, the company plans to manufacture metro trains for Atlanta and Los Angeles. Orders include tram-trains for Salt Lake City and other promising projects.

The American market brings the firm 7% of revenue and 15% of new contracts in 2024. This reflects growing demand for eco-friendly transport and strengthens its regional presence.

New factory facilities will feature a charging station for battery trains, enhancing efficiency. The project accelerates the development of transport technology across the country.

The company partners with state authorities, because this speeds up plan implementation. Thus, the firm aims to lead the rolling stock market in the region.

Eco-friendly train production attracts clients, and demand for them continues to rise steadily. The firm leverages this trend to expand its market share and reputation.

Expanding the Salt Lake City factory creates jobs and supports Utah’s economy. It marks a key step for the company in 2025 and boosts its influence.

Investments of $70 million show the firm’s confidence in the American market’s potential. Management forecasts order growth and stronger positions in coming years.

Currently, the factory actively prepares to launch new lines and upgrade production. This enables the company to meet client demands quickly and maintain product quality.
