Bombardier inaugurated its new production hall in Saxony

Saxony’s Prime Minister, Michael Kretschmer, Mayor of Bautzen, Alexander Ahrens, and Michael Fohrer, Head of Bombardier Transportation in Germany, inaugurated Bombardier’s final assembly hall in Bautzen, Germany. Bombardier invested EUR 30 million in its new assembly hall which has a total of 8,100 square metres of floorspace.
The new hall can produce up to 600 cars per-year, with a production spectrum from regional and intercity trains to suburban and underground trains, and trams. Three different vehicle types can be produced at the same time at company’s new assembly hall equipped with latest digital technologies. Compared to its predecessor, the new hall can save around EUR 1 million per-year in terms of logistics, energy and maintenance costs.
Around 500 employees have their ultra-modern workplace in the hall, which boasts a total 8,100 square metres of factory floorspace. Around 5,000 cubic meters of concrete and 1,300 tons of steel were used in the new building. In addition, around 24 kilometres of electrical cables were laid, and 568 lighting fixtures installed.
