THE last time IRJ sat down with Alstom president and CEO, Mr Henri Poupart-Lafarge, was at the end of January 2021, on the eve of Alstom completing the deal to acquire its one-time rival Bombardier Transportation.
Poupart-Lafarge described the €5.5bn agreement as a “once in a decade deal” at the time and said that it would take three to four years to completely integrate the two giants of rail manufacturing. So how has this work progressed?
