Canadian transportation manufacturer Bombardier Transportation announced that it received an order for 78 double-deck coaches and nine locomotives from Landesnahverkehrsgesellschaft Niedersachsen (LNVG) in Germany, valued at approximately $172 million.
The delivery of the new coaches will take place between May 2006 and the end of 2007. The coaches will be manufactured at Bombardier’s Görlitz site, while the electric locomotives will be produced in Bombardier’s facilities in Kassel. This new contract follows orders by LNVG in 2001 and 2003.
“This new order confirms, once again, the LNVG’s trust in Bombardier. With the space-saving concept and the continuous technical improvements to the vehicles, we are constantly updating our products in order to supply our regional transport customers with what they require”, said Klaus Baur, Chief Country Representative Germany for Bombardier Transportation.
Bombardier is a manufacturer of transportation equipment, from regional aircraft and business jets to rail transportation equipment. Its revenues for the fiscal year ended January 2005 were $15.8 billion.
