Alstom and BDZ Passenger Services signed a EUR 70 million contract to provide maintenance services for a period of 5 years.
The contract includes full maintenance services, consisting of preventive and corrective maintenance as well as overhauls for 46 non-Alstom trains, including 22 diesel and 24 electric multiple units, totaling 126 cars.
“Alstom extends to Bulgaria with a new maintenance contract. We have started the preliminary preparations in order to be able to provide maintenance. This is our first contract in Bulgaria and we are proud and grateful that the customer chose our expertise and extensive know-how,” said Gabriel Stanciu, Managing Director for Alstom in Romania, Bulgaria and Republic of Moldova.
The diesel trains are operating on the Sofia-Kyustendil line and in Varna region, while the EMUs are providing transport services in Sofia and Plovdiv areas.
The trains entered commercial services in 2006 and 2007, in these regions characterised with high circulation.
