Alstom Transport has inaugurated its new regional “Services” centre in an entirely renovated new building at its site in Tarbes. The centre includes a repair shop, test platforms, an area for storage, a spare parts shop and office space.
After ten months of work, the new building, which has an area of over 1,600 m², opened its doors to the 56 employees of the “Services” activity in mid August 2015.
The “Services” activity in Tarbes offers repair and maintenance services for products manufactured by Alstom, as well as equipment not produced by the company, such as air conditioning and pantographs. Added to this is an activity for spare parts. Finally, another part of the activity is devoted to managing the obsolescence of on-board train equipment.
Tarbes is Alstom Transport’s global centre of excellence for traction systems, power modules and switchgear. The Alstom Transport site of Tarbes employs approximately 630 people, including 300 engineers and managerial staff.
