After the merger with GE signaling the manufacturing was transferred to [[Missouri]], and GRS factory kept engineering the GRS legacy products. Since 2002, Alstom has manufactured the [[Pendolino]] tilting train, following the acquisition of [[Fiat Ferroviaria]]. The company also produces [[Alstom Citadis|Citadis]] trams; in 2007, over 1,100 Citadis trams were in use by 28 cities including [[Luas|Dublin]], [[Algiers tramway|Algiers]], [[Trams in Barcelona|Barcelona]], [[Trams in Melbourne|Melbourne]], [[Trams in Rotterdam|Rotterdam]] and [[Tramways in Île-de-France|Paris]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Alstom to supply Citadis tramways in Oran and Constantine|date=18 November 2007|publisher=Visit Oran|url=http://www.visitoran.com/news/article.asp?174|access-date=24 June 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140717235736/http://www.visitoran.com/news/article.asp?174|archive-date=17 July 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref> Between 2007 and 2010, the company produced 1,002 [[R160A (New York City Subway car)|R160A]] New York City subway cars at its manufacturing plant in [[Hornell, New York]], while the body shells were built at their [[Lapa (district of São Paulo)|Lapa]] plant, in [[São Paulo]], [[Brazil]].

In September 2015, it was announced in Hornell, New York, by Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) that [[Amtrak]] will be awarding Alstom a contract for $2.45 billion for the next-generation high-speed train sets for the Northeast Corridor.
