As part of a major development project for the Lyon metropolitan area, the second most populous metropolitan area in France, Sytral Mobilités has entrusted Ingérop with the construction of the T8 tram line.

Recognised expertise in mobility

Ingérop specialises in the design, construction and implementation of transport infrastructure in operational environments, expertise that is essential for this large-scale project. The connections to existing lines (T2, T5), which present major technical challenges, will be carried out in a dense urban environment, with significant geometric and phasing constraints.

With its team of experienced consultants, Axfer supports major players in the sector, including SNCF and RATP, and is continuing to grow to meet the increasing needs of this market throughout France.

Keeping pace with the railway industry

The railway sector has been experiencing strong growth in recent years, as confirmed by the Transport Regulatory Authority in a recently published report. This growth is accompanied by an increased need for technical and engineering expertise in the fields of electrical engineering, civil engineering and, more generally, railway project management. Axfer was born out of this need, a dedicated engineering company that draws on the group’s recognised expertise to support its long-standing clients and the major players in this industry – SNCF Réseau, SNCF Gares & Connexions and RATP – in their strategic projects. With several framework agreements dedicated to these activities, the Ingérop group confirms the relevance of this positioning.

Ingérop announces the acquisition of Auxitec Técnica y Control, a Spanish company specialising in systems engineering for railway infrastructure, particularly in the field of railway signalling for conventional and high-speed lines.

This transaction marks a new stage in Ingerop’s development in Spain, enabling it not only to strengthen its position there but also to consolidate its expertise in transport automation and systems engineering for railway infrastructure.

For Auxitec’s employees, this integration represents an opportunity for international development and the chance to contribute to major structural projects led by the Ingerop group, as well as access to new key customers.

Auxitec Técnica y Control: international leader in services, consulting and engineering for transport automation

Based in Madrid, Auxitec has a team of 25 people and has solid experience in international projects (Mexico, Egypt, Azerbaijan, etc.), while also having a strong presence in the Spanish national rail market. Auxitec has been recognised as an innovative company (PYME Innovadora label) by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation, in recognition of its research and development efforts in the railway sector, notably with projects developed to improve the safety of people working in the railway sector.
