Alstom

Products: n/a. Risk band: Low   RobotRisk index 10.5/100 (incidents/exposure, time-weighted) · 96th percentile of 128 rail supplier companies.

Analyst brief

Alstom's sole entry mirrors the Metrolinx dispute: a January 2026 malfunction concerning an emergency brake issue raised on the Eglinton Crosstown LRT before opening, severity 2. Despite the low index value of 10.6, Alstom sits at the 96.9 percentile of the rail-supplier category, indicating this single entry ranks near the top of a category with generally sparser or lower-scoring records. The record is press-driven, tied to the same pre-launch brake concern as the operator-side entry, and concerns equipment supplied for the line rather than a confirmed in-service failure. The record consists of one event with no additional history on file.
