Alstom - TAV: blow by 170 million on Trenitalia

misterbean@autistici.org (Mr. Bean - interceptor ®) | 05.08.2012 12:55 | London

Alstom - New Pendolino: blow by 170 million  on the Italian railways. A huge lawsuit. At  the origin of this dispute a contract worth 238,600,000 euros for the supply of 12 electric trains ETR 600 to  the variable set-up  (the  New Pendolino) built by Alstom   for Trenitalia.   

Now for this order Alstom asks Trenitalia (Italian State Railways Group) 170 million euros in damages.  Alstom is more than ever determined to get to the bottom, to the speed of a train.

The account is quite expensive. It will be paid at once, without delay, otherwise the amount of damages could rise considerably being subject to interest and legal costs.    The reasons for this initiative are well explained in the Act of legal complaint against Trenitalia (which are attached and reproduced pdf).  Alstom said that in the execution of the contract for the supply of 12 ETR 600 the Italian railways have opposed the company in every way possible and imaginable.  A calculated activities of annoying and unjustified intrusions, for to delay the various stages of planning and for to do  delay deliveries.  But not only that. For  breaking the bales have interfered improperly in the developed project, interfered with approvals,   thus leading to significant extra costs against Alstom. The thing that has angered most of the managers of Alstom are the reasons forming the basis of these absurd behaviors.

To unravel the mystery, the writ against Trenitalia begins with a necessary premise:

 “It 'a fact that in Italy the main customer of Alstom could not and can not be that the State Railways Group (“FS Group”); that historically in Italy the railway system has always been run under the (substantial) monopoly by FS Group is a notorious fact that requires no special insights or demonstrations …  the specific branch of production (rail), the market Italy (with the above system failures) and the incidence of the customer (FS Group) on turnover of Alstom were always absorbing elements if  compared with the our capacity.  Over the years, this imbalance has meant that Alstom has always been in a position of "subservience" compared to a client aware of his undisputed monopoly  …”.

For Alstom, however, things start to get complicated by "a certain point in time".  That is, since the monopoly of the State Railways Group begins to falter.  In fact, on the market looks out a new rail operator, who could  worry Mario Moretti (CEO of railways). We are talking about the new company NTV, Nuovo  Trasporto Viaggiatori,  of  Luca  Cordero di  Montezemolo. The group of entrepreneurs led by Montezemolo is thinking about a new way of transporting passengers (hence the company name). No longer the old railway cattle cars with cockroaches and / or fleas in tow, but an ultra-modern and amazing way to travel people on the train. Thus was born the idea and the project of "Italo" the new superfast train that should enter into competition with the Frecciarossa of  Italian railways, a jewel of technology-based conceptions of the latest generation. The design and construction of these AGV very high speed  is assigned (of course)to  the top manufacturers in the industry: namely Alstom. Oibò, The problem is that at the same time, however, Alstom is working for the competitor Railways Group.

And 'from this point onwards that Alstom for the trouble starts. In fact, the news that Alstom will work to develop "Italo" Mauro Moretti goes on a rampage. And  he studies also at the night as  to  make it difficult the  future for Alstom. Meanwhile, begin to rain systematically spurious complaints about everything and in an mode ever growing  is put into question every aspect of the work done on New Pendolino ETR600.  Until the persecutory attitude becomes unbearably unbearable. So Alstom decides to put a stop to the stalking of the monopolist. Part then at high speed the summons in court against the State Railway Group, which arrives on the desk of Mauro Moretti, like a bolt from a clear sky.

When you take account of what it will cost the TAV high speed in Italy, please update the total. Also add these 170 million of  euro. Thanks.
