Leopoldo Maestu, Managing Director of Alstom in Spain, who accompanied the Minister and the President of Renfe on the visit, pointed out that this contract, the largest in Alstom's history in Spain, has enabled the company to double capacity and employment at the industrial centre, which already employs more than 1,100 people and is one of the Group's largest in Europe. "This project not only guarantees our workload for the coming years, but also includes an ambitious growth and investment plan. It has allowed us to develop a plan for growth and industrial transformation in Santa Perpètua based on three pillars: people, industrial capital and digitalisation and sustainability," says Leopoldo Maestu. In this sense, Alstom has recruited more than 500 new professionals in Catalonia over the last two years. The site will reach its historic peak of activity in the financial year 2025-2026, when the production of the new high-capacity trains for Renfe will be at full capacity. The Renfe contract also means an increase in indirect employment in Catalonia, as Alstom has more than 230 local suppliers and, in the last year, made purchases from Catalan suppliers for an amount of more than 212 million euros. The new trains, with 6 cars each (4 single-deck cars and 2 double-deck cars), will have capacity for more than 900 passengers. The 12 doors on each side, evenly distributed along the train, improve station dwell time by speeding up passenger flow and the transport capacity of suburban networks. In addition, the future trains, fully accessible for people with reduced mobility, will have spaces for PRM chairs, and multifunctional spaces for bicycles, suitcases, baby prams and more. Technically, the new vehicles will be equipped with state-of-the-art equipment to improve reliability and punctuality. In addition, technology implemented will allow for thousands of data per second to be collected from the entire fleet. This real-time information ensures more efficient operational decision-making, which will result in a better service for commuters. The first three units that are currently being manufactured will begin to circulate in tests in the coming months, thus initiating the process of validation and certification of the new rolling stock. Once this is over, series production of the remaining 198 units will begin, with the aim of delivering between 3 and 4 trains to Renfe each month.

The Paris-listed company is working with advisers and has reached out to potential suitors to gauge interest, said the people, who asked not to be identified as the information is private. Considerations are at an early stage and Rubis could decide against a deal, they said. A representative for Rubis declined to comment, adding the company “has regularly been the subject of rumors in recent months.” Shares of Rubis surged as much as 6.6% Wednesday before erasing the gains. They traded 0.2% lower by 9:28 a.m. in Paris, giving the company a market value of about €2.4 billion ($2.5 billion). Rubis distributes products such as gasoline and bitumen in Europe, Africa and the Caribbean. The firm last month completed a sale of its 55% stake in the Rubis Terminal joint venture to I Squared Capital. It’s also been boosting investment in clean power after its 2022 acquisition of a solar farm developer. Rubis has been under activist investor pressure to change its governance and strategy after its shares dropped about 65% from an all-time high in May 2018. While Rubis managing partners Jacques Riou, Gilles Gobin and his daughter Clarisse Gobin-Swiecznik only own just over 2% of the company’s shares, they have broad sway over the firm due to its status as a partnership limited by shares, known in French as société en commandite par actions. The company’s current status needs to be replaced by a corporate form that restores the power of shareholders in the composition of the management body, Ronald Sämann, a Canadian businessman who holds 5% in the firm, wrote in a letter dated May 1 and seen by Bloomberg News. Sämann, the majority shareholder of Car-Freshner Corp., was elected to the Rubis board in June. French billionaire Vincent Bollore and entrepreneur Patrick Molis earlier this year also disclosed their 5% holdings, respectively. (Updates share price movement in fourth paragraph.)
