阿尔斯通获近10亿英镑合同 建造英国首批干线电池电力列车Alstom Secures Nearly £1B Contract to Build UK's First Battery-Electric Train Fleet

这项由英国交通部与唐宁街确认的采购计划，确立了英国干线铁路引入首批长途电池电力列车的商业框架。整笔交易总额约12亿欧元（约合近10亿英镑），在财务结构上划分为两大部分：约9.3亿欧元直接用于29列Adessia Stream列车的制造与采购，其余约2.3亿欧元则对应为期8年的初期列车维护协议。该维护合同在期满后还附带延长8年的可选条款，为车队的长期运营提供技术保障。

The procurement framework confirmed by the Department for Transport and Downing Street establishes the commercial and financing structure for the UK's first mainline battery-electric train fleet. Totaling approximately €1.2 billion (nearly £1 billion), the transaction is split into around €930 million for the construction and acquisition of the 29 Adessia Stream trains, alongside roughly €230 million allocated to an initial eight-year maintenance agreement that carries an option for a subsequent eight-year extension.

在商业运作模式上，该批列车由机车车辆租赁公司Rock Rail出资购买，随后租赁给运营商TransPennine Express投入实际客运网络。根据既定项目推进时间表，阿尔斯通德比工厂的生产制造作业定于2028年正式启动。首批列车预计将在2032年交付，经过测试与调试后，计划于2034年正式投入客运服务。

Under the agreed commercial model, rolling stock investment company Rock Rail will purchase the fleet and lease the units to TransPennine Express for passenger route operations. Production at Alstom's Derby facility is scheduled to begin in 2028, leading into initial rolling stock deliveries starting in 2032 before entering formal passenger service in 2034.

这项新合同为阿尔斯通位于德比的历史悠久的Litchurch Lane工厂带来了长期的生产任务。该工厂始建于1876年，是除中国以外规模最大的机车车辆制造基地。新订单将直接保障工厂内部350多个高技能制造岗位，并新增40个学徒培训名额。此前，该厂在2024年曾因订单空档期启动裁员磋商，一度导致1,300个岗位面临风险，随后通过获得价值3.7亿英镑的10列伦敦伊丽莎白线列车制造合同缓解了危机。

The contract provides a substantial pipeline of manufacturing work for Alstom's historic Litchurch Lane site in Derby, which dates back to 1876 and stands as the largest rolling stock manufacturing facility outside China. The project secures more than 350 skilled manufacturing roles at the site while creating 40 additional apprenticeships. The award follows an uncertain period in 2024, when a redundancy consultation initially placed 1,300 jobs at risk at the facility before Alstom secured a £370 million deal to manufacture 10 new Elizabeth line trains for London.

除了德比本地工地的就业保障外，英国政府表示该项目还将为全英范围内的列车供应链提供广泛动力，预计支持多达6,000个相关产业岗位。英国交通大臣海蒂·亚历山大指出，该投资在强化铁路网络运力的同时，旨在确保德比等传统工业核心重镇保留面向未来的高技能就业机会，带动上下游工程制造企业共同参与新型电池电力列车的研发与生产。

Beyond direct employment at the Derby factory, the UK government confirmed that the investment will bolster the wider rail industrial base, supporting up to 6,000 jobs across the nationwide supply chain. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander noted that the initiative aims to maintain high-skilled manufacturing in key industrial heartlands while providing the infrastructure required to expand regional economic growth and upgrade rolling stock fleets.

根据阿尔斯通与英国交通部公布的设计参数，定制的Adessia Stream电池电力列车全长121米，最高运营时速可达110英里（约177公里）。列车采用平步无障碍登车（level-access boarding）设计，消除了传统车门与站台间的踏步落差，同时车厢内配备车载无线网络（Wi-Fi）及扩容的行李存放空间，旨在提升长途出行与无障碍通行的便利度。

According to technical specifications released by Alstom and the UK Department for Transport, the custom-built Adessia Stream battery-electric trains will measure 121 meters in length and reach maximum operating speeds of up to 110 mph. The interior and carriage architecture incorporates level-access, step-free boarding to eliminate height gaps with station platforms, alongside onboard Wi-Fi connectivity and expanded luggage storage areas designed to improve passenger comfort and accessibility across northern rail routes.

为实现非电气化干线路段的完全零排放运行，该项目将配合干线充电设施的建设。相关充电基建将布设在赫尔（Hull）、斯卡伯勒（Scarborough）和萨尔特本（Saltburn）等关键站点。通过这些地面快充设施，列车在进入当前仍由柴油动力列车运营的非接触网路段时，可依靠车载电池组驱动，在保障日常正常营运周转的同时摆脱对化石燃料的依赖。

To enable zero-emission travel on non-electrified sections of the network currently serviced by diesel-powered rolling stock, the deployment is paired with new dedicated charging infrastructure installed at key terminal locations including Hull, Scarborough, and Saltburn. These installations represent a mainline first in the UK rail network, allowing the battery-electric fleet to recharge efficiently during scheduled turnarounds and operate seamlessly across un-electrified track without emitting diesel pollutants.

在实际运营规划中，这批新车队将重点投放于英格兰北部的主要城际干线，连接包括利物浦莱姆街（Liverpool Lime Street）至斯卡伯勒、曼彻斯特机场至萨尔特本，以及曼彻斯特皮卡迪利（Manchester Piccadilly）至赫尔等核心区间。根据英国交通部的规划，该车队将助力“跨奔宁路线升级”（TransPennine Route Upgrade）计划实现运力扩容30%的目标，到2030年代初至中叶，每天将在跨越奔宁山脉的线路上增加数千个客运座位。

Under the operational deployment plan, the new train fleet will serve critical northern intercity routes connecting Liverpool Lime Street and Scarborough, Manchester Airport and Saltburn, and Manchester Piccadilly and Hull. According to the Department for Transport, introducing the Adessia Stream trains will fulfill the TransPennine Route Upgrade objective to increase capacity by 30%, adding thousands of passenger seats each day across the Pennines by the early to mid-2030s.

新列车在速度提升方面带来的直接改善包括：曼彻斯特与利兹之间的单程时间最多可节省10分钟，曼彻斯特与约克之间最多可缩短14分钟。英国首相安迪·伯纳姆与交通大臣海蒂·亚历山大均表示，该项目是推进大英铁路（Great British Railways）计划的关键组成部分，旨在彻底改善北部铁路长期存在的延误与运力短缺问题，让乘客告别拥挤迟到的柴油列车，并推动下一代高技能制造就业。

The operational improvements will directly trim journey times, cutting up to 10 minutes between Manchester and Leeds and up to 14 minutes between Manchester and York. Prime Minister Andy Burnham and Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander highlighted the project as a foundational element of Great British Railways, aimed at addressing chronic northern service cancellations and overcrowding by replacing aging diesel rolling stock with modern, faster electric trains while generating long-term British employment.

阿尔斯通英国区董事总经理罗布·怀特指出，由英国本土设计和制造干线电池电力列车是英国铁路发展的里程碑，不仅将转变英格兰北部的出行体验，还将集中展示英国工程、技术创新与先进制造业的顶尖水平。

Alstom UK Managing Director Rob Whyte characterized the contract as a landmark milestone for Britain's railway industry, emphasizing that domestic design and manufacturing of the country's first mainline battery-electric fleet will fundamentally transform travel across northern England while showcasing British engineering and advanced manufacturing capabilities.
