Is Bombardier now Alstom?

Customers and passengers will benefit from the proximity of Alstom's employees and sites, unmatched innovation capacities, a comprehensive rail product & solutions portfolio, and commitment to an efficient delivery. The employees of Bombardier Transportation join the Alstom Group as from January 29, 2021.



This is a "yes" specifically regarding the rail transportation division. In January 2021, the French multinational Alstom officially completed its acquisition of Bombardier Transportation, the rail equipment division of the Canadian company Bombardier Inc. Following this merger, Alstom became the world's second-largest rail manufacturer, absorbing all of Bombardier's train, subway, and light rail technologies. In 2026, you will see Alstom branding on projects that were originally started by Bombardier, such as the Toronto subway fleet and various high-speed rail projects globally. It is important to distinguish that Bombardier Inc. itself still exists as a separate company, but it has completely exited the commercial and rail sectors to focus exclusively on business aviation (the Challenger and Global jet series). So, while the trains you ride are now managed by Alstom, the private jets flying overhead are still very much Bombardier products.
