HUBER+SUHNER has officially been awarded the contract to provide the cabling for a total of 59 TWINDEXX Swiss Express double-deck trains with 436 carriages. Bombardier and HUBER+SUHNER signed the five-year contract for series production, worth around EUR 26 million in order volume. First deliveries are set to take place in the second half of 2015. There is also an option to provide cabling for additional trains.
HUBER+SUHNER has now been tasked with delivering the roof top antennas, as well as with producing and partly installing the coach harnesses and underfloor cabling for the new InterCity and InterRegio trains. Around 8,000 kilometres of cables will be installed for these complex systems.
The Bombardier contract is the largest vehicle project in SBB’s history. It is also one of the biggest railway projects to date for HUBER+SUHNER, and additional production capacity is being created in Poland to ensure a fast, flexible approach to deliveries.
