Alstom and Export Development Canada sign agreement to promote global clean mobility investments

Alstom and Export Development Canada (EDC) have signed a Sustainable Partnership Agreement to promote investments in clean mobility worldwide. The three -year agreement could be worth as much as US2.6bn.  

 

The partnership builds on shared commitments to work towards decarbonising economies and achieving the COP21 net-zero objective by 2050. 

 

Under the partnership, EDC will focus its financing support to digital rail systems, services and projects based on low-emission freight and passenger mobility technologies such as hydrogen propulsion or the use of battery power.  

 

Michael Keroullé, President of Alstom, said, 'We are very proud to establish this partnership with EDC. We thanks EDC for its support to grow Alstom's leadership in sustainable mobility.'
