We have broad capabilities to deliver smart mobility solutions, including rolling stock, signalling systems, infrastructure, and services, and we remain committed to continuing to contribute to the development of transport in the country.”

Jean-Michel Morvan is a French engineer with extensive experience in the railway sector and in project management on a global scale. He previously held several strategic positions within Alstom.

He graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure d’Arts et Métiers ParisTech, where he earned his engineering degree.

Alstom has been present in Chile for more than 75 years, contributing to the development of the country’s infrastructure, social progress, and environmental sustainability. As the main supplier of metro systems in Santiago and Valparaíso, Alstom offers a wide range of innovative products and services. Economic growth has driven the need for urban, interurban, and freight railway infrastructure, and Alstom brings its expertise to all three areas, committed to improving quality of life and safety.
