region
BERLIN, GERMANY--(Marketwire - April 21, 2010) - Bombardier Transportation and
"Koleje Mazowieckie - KM" Sp. z o.o. have signed an agreement for the delivery
of eleven TRAXX electric locomotives. The value of the contract amounts to
approximately 41 million euros ($54 million US). The delivery of the locomotives
is scheduled for summer 2011.
The new two-cab electric TRAXX P160 DC locomotives, which can operate at speeds
of 160 km/h, are planned to run Koleje Mazowieckie's double-deck coaches in
push-pull operation. At present, Koleje Mazowieckie operates 37 double-deck
coaches, also manufactured by Bombardier, in regular, daily passenger
transportation.
The agreement also includes provisions regarding maintenance to be rendered for
four years from the date of locomotive delivery, as well as for the training of
Koleje Mazowieckie employees.
Artur Radwan, President of the Management Board of Koleje Mazowieckie, said:
"The TRAXX locomotives offered by Bombardier fulfill all of Koleje Mazowieckie's
requirements. The purchase is a significant step towards the improvement of the
efficiency of our transport offer. Thanks to these new locomotives, we will be
able to fully utilize our Bombardier double-deck push-pull coaches, offering
even better transport services to our passengers."
Ake Wennberg, President of Bombardier Transportation's Locomotives and Equipment
Division, commented: "TRAXX locomotives are very successful in the market. At
present, more than 1,450 of them have been ordered for operation throughout
Europe. The car bodies for all TRAXX locomotives are manufactured at our site in
Wroclaw. We, and especially our Polish colleagues, are happy that an additional
number of TRAXX locomotives will soon be in service in Poland. I am proud that
Koleje Mazowieckie has joined the large group of operators that trust and
utilize our locomotives."
"This is the first purchase of electric TRAXX locomotives for passenger
transport in the Polish market. We are very pleased that Koleje Mazowieckie once
again has decided to purchase our products, confirming its trust in Bombardier
rail vehicles." added Janusz Kucmin, Chief Country Representative of Bombardier
Transportation for Poland.
The TRAXX product family is designed for the transport of goods as well as
passengers on national and international routes on all networks. It consists of
three electric variants (multi-system, alternating and direct current
locomotives) and a diesel-electric design. The TRAXX locomotives are
characterised by their modular assembly, as well as their innovative BOMBARDIER
MITRAC propulsion and controls system, already in use in over 3,800 locomotives
worldwide.
