Bombardier and China's Ministry of Railways (MOR) today signed a Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU) aimed at strengthening their strategic partnership in the
development of various products and systems, including rolling stock and
signalling solutions applied in mainline and regional railways for the market in
China and internationally. The agreement was signed at the UIC High Speed
Congress in Beijing by Mr Liu Zhijun, China's Minister of Railways and Andre
Navarri, President and Chief Operating Officer, Bombardier Transportation.
Both parties agree to further collaborate on the development of the existing
high speed and very high speed product platforms and to further extend this
cooperation to other platforms if and when needed, such as regional trains. The
agreement also establishes China Railway Signal and Communication Corporation as
a strategic partner for Bombardier's highly advanced signalling systems, to
jointly develop signaling products in order to meet the requirements of China
and international markets.
Andre Navarri commented: "China has a clear vision of the critical role rail
must play in sustainable economic development, and is making the strategic
investments necessary to ensure that vision is realized. China is selecting
state of the art technologies to build the most advanced rail network in the
world. We offer one of the broadest product portfolios in the world. We are
pleased to have worked closely with the MOR and our local partners in the past
and look forward to working together in the development of new, game-changing
technologies."
Jianwei Zhang, President and Chief Country Representative, Bombardier China
said: "One of the most important considerations in successful business is
partnership. Bombardier has been actively participating in the development of
China's rail transportation providing a broad range of products, systems and
services. This includes more than 4000 rail vehicles for various applications,
signalling solutions for both very high speed rail and urban mass transit,
locomotives, propulsion equipments and systems. Bombardier is very proud to be a
long term strategic partner with the MOR."
