Investing in the Future

ALSTOM Power Conversion invests more than five percent of its industrial control revenues

in research and development to ensure that its products and technologies are always

on the cutting edge, and that its power electronic and automation solutions are the most

advanced in the world. The R&D effort in automation, drive systems and power electronics is

divided between a common development center in Paris and selected operating units in four

countries.

Research in power electronics is handled by a dedicated ALSTOM power electronics research team.

Hardware and software products developed through this process are marketed under the ALSPATM

trademark. Each one benefits from ALSTOM’s hands-on experience in the field, and from an ongoing

commitment to the continued development of increasingly more competitive, more reliable, and

more open solutions for higher performance.
