Delhi metro orders additional train cars from Bombardier

Tuesday, September 6, 2011 at 01:27PM

More than 3,900 Bombardier MOVIA metro cars have been ordered worldwide

Bombardier Transportation has received an order for 76 additional Bombardier MOVIA metro cars from the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation. The contract is valued at approximately 84 million euro ($120 million US) and is a follow-on to the orders for 114 vehicles announced in mid 2010. Delivery will commence in the third quarter of 2012 and is expected to end in early 2013. With the new order, DMRC will be operating a fleet of 614 MOVIA metro cars.

The MOVIA vehicles and Bombardier FLEXX Metro 3000 bogies are manufactured at Bombardier's industrial site in Savli, Vadodara in Gujarat State, India.

Benoît Cattin Martel, President & Managing Director, Bombardier Transportation in India, said: "India's railway industry is expanding at great speed to keep up with the infrastructural requirements of the country. Having anticipated this growth, Bombardier in India is more than ready and willing to match the industry's needs in terms of products, technology and our international expertise."

More than 3,900 MOVIA metro cars have been ordered to date worldwide. The MOVIA metro vehicles integrate advanced technologies in metro vehicle manufacturing, such as stainless steel carbodies and the Bombardier MITRAC propulsion and control system featuring IP technology. The MOVIA metros are developed from a standardized platform, which ensures a high degree of reliability, safety and maintainability while providing low life-cycle cost.

Bombardier Transportation is steadily ramping up its presence in India. Savli, Gujarat is home to its new railway vehicle manufacturing site, propulsion systems manufacturing facility and software development centre for signalling and traction applications in India and for other Bombardier Transportation projects around the globe.
