In 2016, Alstom and SNCF launched a project to develop a new generation of French high-speed trains, known as TGV M. The following article will focus on the design of these vehicles, which is very interesting in many ways.
On 22 May 2026, TGV M has obtained type authorisation from ERA as Type TGV 22000.
On 15 January 2026, CAF has been awarded a contract by SNCF Voyageurs to supply an additional ten Régiolis EDMUs, valued at approximately 80 million EUR, to be operated in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region in southwestern France.
On 19 January 2026, the Board of Directors of SNCF Voyageurs has approved an additional order for 15 TGV M (Avelia Horizon) units.
In early December 2025, CAF has secured a new contract in France worth approximately 250 million EUR for SNCF Voyageurs, which ordered 22 Régiolis EMUs for operation in "Région Sud" (Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur).
On 10 December 2025, Alstom announced that with the recent submission of the TGV M authorisation for placing on the market to the ERA, the project is entering the final phase of the approval process.
The latest addition to the tests at the VUZ Velim centre is the Coradia HEMU prototype.
On 23 June 2025, Alstom announced that it will supply SNCF Voyageurs with 96 additional RER NG EMUs for the RER D line in order to complete and renew the fleet on the latter.
Five years and six months after the official inauguration of the Léman Express, project stakeholders gathered on 12 June 2025 at Genève-Aéroport and Annemasse to celebrate a dual milestone:
This is an OCE2 trainset for the Centre-Val de Loire Region, which has arrived in Velim for tests at the speed of 200 km/h.
In recent weeks, three different types of new EMUs have appeared at the VUZ Velim test circuit.
On 24 April 2025, Stadler has delivered the first of seven 1,000 mm-gauge trains to Transports de Martigny et Régions (TMR) and SNCF.
On 11 March, 2025, the interior design of the new TGV generation was unveiled at the Gare de Lyon.
SNCF Voyageurs has once again entrusted CAF with the supply of 22 Intercités EMUs, branded as Oxygène, which will serve the Bordeaux - Marseille line.
