16 October, 2026Motion Technology Company Schaeffler and Alstom, a global leader in smart and sustainable mobility, are deepening their partnership: At the InnoTrans 2026 trade fair in Berlin, representatives of both companies signed an agreement expanding the cooperation within the Alstom Alliance™ to cover a broad range of products and solutions for regional trains, commuter rail, trams, and metros.
“Alstom is a strategically important partner for us in the significant growth market for rail vehicles. With products and solutions tailored precisely to their needs, we continuously enhance our customers’ competitiveness,” says Sascha Zaps, CEO Bearings & Industrial Solutions at Schaeffler AG. “We look forward to deepening our cooperation with Alstom in order to further drive our joint growth.”
Within the Alstom Alliance™, Alstom develops innovative, reliable and sustainable solutions for the rail sector together with selected strategic partners – from the early concept phase through to delivery.
