Manage episode 438724487 series 2908300
In this Coffee with the Editor, we catch up with Bernard Peille just before his transition from Managing Director of Alstom Southern Africa to Alstom Brazil. Bernard discusses Alstom's involvement in the MetroKin project in Kinshasa, a key mass transit initiative aimed at addressing the city's severe congestion. Alstom is set to be part of the first phase of the project—connecting the central station to N'Djili International Airport, featuring eight stations along a 22-kilometre route as a metro solution.
Supported by the Africa Finance Corporation (AFC) and Trans Connexion Congo (TCC), MetroKin is poised to transform Kinshasa's public transportation landscape with over 300 kilometres of railway.
Bernard also shares insights on Alstom's broader vision for enhancing urban mobility across Africa, including ongoing projects in Dar es Salaam, Angola, and Harare, Zimbabwe, among others.
