Bombardier poised for metro projects in Bangkok after receiving large order

Valued at 298 million euros ($US380)

The new BOMBARDIER MOVIA 3-car metro units will cater to the Singapore Downtown Line which will run fully underground. The 40-km long line will transport almost half a million passengers every day, thus further enhancing commuter mobility, and also helping promote a greener mode of transportation for Singapore. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in the last quarter of 2012 and to be completed in mid 2016.

Bombardier is the number one supplier of metro vehicles worldwide, with the MOVIA metro type as its most successful product. 3,300 MOVIA cars have already been ordered to date. Bombardier metros are vital elements for several of the most representative cities in the world, such as New York, Paris, London, Berlin, New Delhi, Shanghai. Now Singapore has joined these cities by choosing Bombardier metros.

Kristian Mikkelsen, President, Business Unit Asia, Passengers Division, Bombardier Transportation said: "Singapore is renowned for its world-class transportation system and we are proud to provide our state-of-the-art vehicles for the Singapore Downtown Line. We believe our proven and reliable MOVIA metro cars as well as our responsive and cooperative management style will meet the expectations of LTA."

Regarding Thailand, Mr Mikkelson added, "We are committed to establishing a rolling stock business in Thailand. Bombardier already has a significant presence here with its signaling business and software engineering centre in Bangkok. This provides various applications for global projects of Bombardier, and we look forward to employing more local expertise to support local projects as they arise."

The MOVIA metro cars integrate the world's most advanced technologies in metro vehicle manufacturing, as its high capacity carbodies are developed from a standardized platform, ensuring a high degree of reliability, safety and low life-cycle cost.
