Bombardier rail unit said it signed a US$724 million contract to sell 333 of its electric Aventra trains to be used by British rail operator West Midlands.
Under the deal, Bombardier will sell and maintain three-car trains for metro services and five-car trains for outer suburban and long distances.
The trains will be made at Bombardier’s Derby facility in England and are expected to be delivered between 2020 and 2022.
Will Tanner, a spokesperson for Bombardier Transportation (BT) in the UK, said the division remains strong in the European market, and that the proposed merger between Germany’s Siemens and France’s Alstom is not a concern for the company’s most profitable division. “BT remains the best in global customer relationships and product portfolio,” Tanner said in an emailed statement.
