Rail technology leader Bombardier Transportation and the Austrian Federal
Railways (OBB) have signed on December 27 a framework agreement covering the
delivery of up to 300 BOMBARDIER TALENT 3 trains. The total amount of the
framework contract is valued at a list price of approximately 1.8 billion euro
($1.9 billion US) and it gives OBB the opportunity to make several call-offs for
trainsets used for regional and suburban rail transport.
The first call-off order under the framework contract, also signed on December
27 is for 21 TALENT 3 trains and is valued at a list price of approximately 150
million euro ($156 million US). These new regional trains are to be delivered in
2019 and are expected to enhance local passenger transport capacity for both
daily commute and leisure passengers, strengthening the essential link between
rural and urban areas in Austria's Vorarlberg region and neighbouring countries.
"This framework agreement represents a huge success for Bombardier," said
Christian Diewald, Managing Director of Bombardier Transportation Austria GmbH.
"OBB is one of Europe's most renowned and punctual railways. With the TALENT 3
train they have chosen a product with high acceleration power and an exceptional
reliability, which will help them maintaining their ambitious train schedules in
geographically demanding regions."
The new generation of TALENT 3 electric multiple units offer modern operational
flexibility, low energy consumption and significantly reduced life cycle costs.
With the widest carbody in class, the TALENT 3 train allows for up to 50% more
seating capacity compared to its predecessor generation and enables fastest
passenger exchange as well as maximum travelling comfort. In total, about 1.400
trains of the TALENT family are already in service in Europe and Canada, of
which 187 vehicles are operated by OBB in Austria.
With the broadest portfolio in the industry, Bombardier Transportation has a
strong and growing footprint in Austria, reaching from tram vehicles in major
cities as Linz, Innsbruck and Graz and light rail transit trainsets for Vienna's
metro line U6 to commuter trains for OBB and locomotives for several private
cargo companies operating throughout the entire country. Bombardier
Transportation employs 550 people at its site in Vienna.
