Bombardier Selected Preferred Bidder for Queensland New Generation Rollingstock Project
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
BERLIN, GERMANY--(Marketwired - Nov 20, 2013) - Bombardier Transportation is a
member of the consortium that has been nominated as preferred tenderer by the
Department of Transport and Main Roads of the Queensland Government in Australia
to finalise the terms of a contract for the delivery of 75 new six-car trains,
maintenance services for a period of around 30 years and construction of a
purpose-built maintenance centre.
The consortium comprises four equity partners, Bombardier Transportation
Australia, John Laing, ITOCHU Corporation and Uberior (Lloyds).
The Department of Transport and Main Roads will deliver the project, known as
the New Generation Rollingstock project, in partnership with Projects
Queensland. Queensland Rail will provide technical expertise to integrate the
new trains with the existing network.
The project will be financed by the private sector using an availability payment
public-private partnership finance option, with the same model used successfully
for Australia's Gold Coast Rapid Transit.
The contract is expected to be awarded in December 2013. Testing of the first
completed train is expected to commence approximately two years from contract
award.
