Bombardier Transportation has successfully delivered the 200th VLocity diesel multiple unit (DMU) to Public Transport Victoria (PTV) and Victoria’s Regional Rail network (Australia). The VLocity project is one of the most reliable and comfortable train fleets serving Australia’s rail public transport network, averaging consistently strong fleet performance figures with high availability and reliability.
The VLocity trains are designed to operate at a maximum speed of 160kph and carry over 200 passengers. Proven components and systems on the fleet ensure high reliability and minimise downtime during maintenance, supporting maximum availability of the fleet for passenger service. Operating on V/Lines Regional Rail Network since 2005, Bombardier has been building VLocity trains in Dandenong for over ten years, which move over approximately 1.2 million Victorians safely each month.
“Bombardier is extremely proud to deliver the 200th VLocity unit to Public Transport Victoria and V/Line. The addition of these new trains will improve connectivity, providing safe and comfortable travel to our valued commuters”, said Andrew Dudgeon, Managing Director for Bombardier Transportation Australia.
