A key player in every category of mobility services
SNCF is Europe’s undisputed champion in high-speed rail, operator of the world’s second-busiest rail network, and a frontrunner in public transport around the globe. We do business in every area of rail operations and mobility, and we’re already generating a third of our revenue outside France.
Thanks to an aggressive campaign to win international markets, customers outside our traditional markets in France will soon account for 50% of our revenue, with half of that coming from outside Europe.
In addition to operating transport networks, we offer time-tested know-how in infrastructure engineering and rolling stock. Our teams are working on half the world’s high-speed rail and metro projects, and 60% of all driverless metro projects.
These areas of expertise—and our skill in combining them—are represented in the talents of our 272,000 employees in 120 countries across the globe.
