As part of the DMRC (Delhi Metro Rail Corporation) Indian rail operator’s fleet extension programme, Faiveley Transport has been awarded a series of contracts worth over EUR 20 million by Bombardier Transportation to supply a complete range of state-of-the-art railway systems for 162 new cars for the New Delhi metro.
The contracts awarded to Faiveley Transport cover a wide range of railway systems, including braking systems (brake control devices, air generation and treatment units, brake disc units and other auxiliary equipment), compact saloon HVAC systems (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning), pantographs, and access and cabin door systems.
Faiveley Transport will be responsible for the design, manufacture, and supply of the equipment. Delivery is expected to start by mid 2016.
Faiveley Transport systems will equip the 162 Bombardier Movia metro cars ordered from Bombardier Transportation to increase the number of DMRC’s existing fleet of Movia metro cars from 614 to 776 vehicles, which will comprise both new trains and additional cars for existing trains.
“We are proud to win these new contracts for the New Delhi metro project and to strengthen our position in the Indian metro segment, a high growth sector in the country. Faiveley Transport is a key player in the promising railway industry in India, one of the key strategic markets for our Group,” Simon Charlesworth, Faiveley Transport’s Sales & Marketing Vice President, said.
