15 additional TGV M trainsets ordered from Alstom
Under this new €600 million contract, SNCF has ordered 15 new fifth-generation TGV M trainsets from French manufacturer Alstom. The trains will operate on cross-border services between France and Belgium starting in 2029, adding to the 115 units already purchased.
With the new TGV M model scheduled to enter service in 2026, SNCF Voyageurs has confirmed an additional order of 15 trainsets from Alstom, representing a total investment of €600 million. These next-generation units will strengthen services linking major French cities with Brussels.
The order reflects SNCF Voyageurs’ ambition to expand its international service while enhancing the passenger experience through improved comfort, connectivity and accessibility.
As Europe’s leading high-speed rail operator, we’ve opted to invest in expanding our service and attracting a growing number of passengers.
