PARIS — France’s TGV high-speed train maker Alstom on Thursday offered to sell a French rail factory and make other concessions to win European Commission approval for its planned purchase of Bombardier Inc’s transportation business.
The commitments also included selling Alstom’s Coradia Polyvalent – a range of regional trains – and divesting a Bombardier commuter trains division and the production facilities attached to that at its Hennigsdorf site in Germany.
