Around EUR 80 million invested in the new Maisons-Alfort Pompadour facility. To become operational by 2029, with up to 100 new direct and derived jobs created
Paris, 18 March 2026
New step in FS Italiane Group’s international development. Trenitalia France signed a 35-year lease agreement with SNCF Réseau for a railway area located in Maisons-Alfort Pompadour, in the Île-de-France region, where the future maintenance hub catering to high-speed trains will be built.
The project’s total investment exceeds EUR 80 million and the facility will be operational by the end of 2029. With this new infrastructure, Trenitalia France will strengthen the operational management over its fleet, improving the efficiency of maintenance activities and supporting the railway sector development in the French market. Moreover, the maintenance hub will support future high-speed Frecciarossa services between Paris and London through the Eurotunnel.
This initiative is part of the international growth strategy set out in FS Italiane Group's Industrial Plan to boost its presence on the main European high-speed corridors, and develop new competitive and sustainable railway connections between the continent's main cities.
The hub's design will guarantee round-the-clock operations, with three maintenance tracks servicing three trains at the same time, and dedicated facilities for washing, cleaning and storing the vehicles. Once in full swing, the facility will be structured to accommodate up to 25 trains. By building this new site, the Group’s international activities will be further developed as a strategic element.
"With this investment, we are strengthening FS Group's industrial presence in France and supporting the development of European rail mobility - said Stefano Antonio Donnarumma, CEO and General Manager of FS Italiane Group - The new maintenance hub represents a strategic infrastructure that will drive the growth of Trenitalia's activities in the country, and will support future high-speed connections between Paris and London, in a view of making trains increasingly central in the European sustainable mobility landscape".
In addition to its industrial value, the project will also positively affect the territory, with the facility’s construction and operation leading to the creation of about 100 new jobs, including direct employment and activities entrusted to maintenance and operational support service partners.
