29 September 2026 – Alstom, global leader in smart and sustainable mobility, has received an order from Västtrafik to deliver 35 additional Avelia Stream Nordic X80 trains through an option worth approximately €350 millions¹ exercised under the existing frame contract. With this new order, Alstom will deliver a total of 80 trains to Västtrafik.
The option exercise follows the successful entry into service of the first Avelia Stream Nordic trains and reflects Västtrafik’s continued confidence in Alstom’s ability to deliver a modern, reliable and sustainable regional fleet.

By exercising this option, Västtrafik is further investing in a platform already operating on its network and supporting its long-term ambition to increase capacity, improve punctuality and promote sustainable mobility across western Sweden.

“With these 35 new trains, we are taking another step towards more modern, spacious and comfortable public transport for our passengers. The trains will also reduce our energy consumption and replace our older rolling stock,” said Bijan Zainali, Chair of the Västtrafik Board.
“This order marks an important new step in Västtrafik’s fleet modernisation programme and illustrates how Alstom supports customers throughout the entire lifecycle of their assets, from train delivery to long-term maintenance and operational performance. Together, we are helping deliver greater capacity, reliability and sustainability for passengers across western Sweden for decades to come,” says Maria Signal Martebo, Managing Director of Alstom Sweden.

High-speed regional service with sustainable trains adapted to Nordics winter conditions
With a top speed of 200 km/h and 270 seats distributed across three cars per train, the train improves the passenger experience through step-free boarding, dedicated spaces for wheelchairs, strollers and real-time information systems.
In 2025, the Avelia Stream Nordic X80 trains received the prestigious Red Dot Award, recognising its cutting-edge design, which combines contemporary interiors and Nordic functionality with advanced technology and a strong focus on sustainability.
The trains are equipped with energy-efficient systems, including regenerative braking that recovers energy during braking and contributes to lower energy consumption during operations. Avelia Stream Nordic is designed for tough environmental conditions and offers the highest level of winterisation. The train can operate through 80 cm of snow and is reliable in temperatures down to -40°C.

Delivering and maintaining the next-generation Avelia Stream Nordic
The first Avelia Stream Nordic trains were delivered in spring 2026 following several months of testing on the network and are now operating on the regional rail network in Västra Götaland. Additional deliveries of the fleet will continue over the coming years.
Alstom is also performing maintenance of Västtrafik’s train fleet, currently comprising both the new trains and older generation rolling stock, ensuring high availability and long-term operational reliability across the region. Once all 80 new trains have been delivered, they will form the backbone of Västtrafik’s regional rail services.
Avelia Stream Nordic is part of Alstom’s Avelia high-speed train platform which covers maximum operating speeds between 200 km/h and 320 km/h. A wide variety of configurations and architectures are available to provide best fit to customer needs; single-deck or double-deck, concentrated or distributed traction.

Third-quarter trading marks a key milestone in the execution of the Group’s accelerated growth strategy and positions Rapid Nutrition for a record second half

LONDON, Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rapid Nutrition PLC (Euronext Growth Paris: ALRPD), a HealthTech and wellness company focused on evidence-based nutrition and personalized wellness, is pleased to provide a Group trading update for the three months ended 30 September 2026.

Based on unaudited management information, Rapid Nutrition generated average Group revenue of approximately $1 million per month during Q3 2026. This was more than 1,000% above average monthly Group revenue in FY2025 and represents a record quarter for the Company.

The performance reflects the execution of management’s accelerated growth strategy and the larger operating base established during the first half of the year. The Group is now seeing that increased scale flow through to revenue, as previously indicated to the market.

An expanded wellness platform

Rapid Nutrition’s five wellness hubs provide an established presence in the Australian domestic market and direct engagement with wellness customers. Alongside the Group’s existing brands, digital capabilities and distribution channels, the hubs provide a platform for the development and wider distribution of Company-owned products and practitioner-led services.

Management’s priorities include strengthening operations across the Group, expanding SystemLS® and other proprietary products through its available channels, and developing the practitioner services offered through its wellness hubs.

Managing Director’s comment

Simon St Ledger, Managing Director of Rapid Nutrition, commented:

“Q3 represents an important milestone for Rapid Nutrition. We deliberately established the operating foundations to support lasting and scalable growth, and we are now seeing that work flow through to Group revenue. At approximately $1 million per month, Q3 Group revenue was more than 1,000% above the FY2025 monthly average. This quarter’s performance demonstrates the progress of our accelerated growth strategy and the significant increase in the scale of our business.

“We enter Q4 with a substantially larger operating base and encouraging momentum. We are confident in the opportunities ahead and remain focused on building upon this progress across our wellness hubs, proprietary products and practitioner services, with the aim of delivering sustainable growth and long-term value for shareholders.”

The Company expects to provide shareholders with further updates as it continues to execute its accelerated growth strategy.
