An EPIC story
SNCF is an EPIC or Établissement Public Industriel et Commercial. In plain English, that means we’re a state-owned industrial and commercial enterprise dedicated to serving the public.
Opening up to competition
In the 2000s, the French freight and high-speed passenger rail markets opened to competition—giving us the opportunity to leverage our unequalled experience in European rail.
Our public service mission
We’re a state-owned, public service company, and our core mission is to deliver seamless, door-to-door mobility for everyone, everywhere.
