Alstom Transport, part of the French international power and engineering firm Alstom, announced plans to cut 182 jobs at its headquarters in Saint-Ouen (Seine-Saint-Denis) in France.

The timeline for the restructuring is not yet available but the group expects to open a voluntary redundancy plan that would possibly end by the end of 2014. The same day, the group announced plans to cut 190 jobs in Barcelona (Spain).
