Italo, dopo la Germania obiettivo Belgio e Olanda
L’ad Rocca: i treni tedeschi di Siemens omologati anche per le reti di altri Paesi
Italo, la privata high-speed train company, has set its sights on Belgium and the Netherlands as its next European expansion targets, following Germany. The company's CEO, Gianbattista La Rocca, revealed these plans in an interview with Il Sole 24 Ore. Italo plans to build 26 high-speed trains and secure a 30-year maintenance contract with Siemens, a German company.
La Rocca emphasized that the German market, with its 2x larger demand compared to Italy, would serve as the foundation for the company's international expansion. The company's entry into Europe has already led to a major restructuring, with Italo Holding now consisting of two main branches: Italo Italia, focused on Italy and Itabus, and Italo International, which oversees the German operations.
Italo plans to start operating in Germany from June 1, 2028, with the first four trains running on German tracks.
