10 March 2026 – Alstom secured a €1.03 billion contract with Comboios de Portugal (CP) to supply 153 Adessia Stream trains, supporting the renewal of Portugal’s rail fleet and the expansion of capacity on key passenger routes. The agreement represents the largest train acquisition in Portugal’s history and forms part of CP’s programme to improve reliability, accessibility and service quality for rail users across the country.
The base contract was signed in October 2025 for 117 Adessia Stream trains and expanded to include 36 additional trains and bringing forward the delivery schedule. The first trains are scheduled to enter service in 2029. An accelerated delivery plan has been agreed to respond to growing passenger demand and the need to modernise existing rolling stock.

A new fleet of 98 of the commuter trains will strengthen suburban connections in the Lisbon, Porto and Cascais areas, while the remaining 55 trains will enhance services on regional lines, providing passengers in Portugal with a new travel experience and improving comfort, reliability and onboard connectivity.
