Berlino, 18 settembre 2012 -Bombardier Transportation, leader nel campo della tecnologia ferroviaria, ha annunciato oggi di aver firmato alcuni contratti con Talgo SA per sviluppare e fornire componenti per 36 treni ad alta velocità destinati all'Arabia Saudita. I contratti sono valutati circa 281 milioni di euro (367 milioni di dollari US). Talgo è membro di Al Shoula consortium, guidato dall'operatore ferroviario spagnolo RENFE e dall'azienda di infrastrutture ferroviarie ADIF. Il consorzio ha recentemente firmato un contrato con Saudi Railways Organization per costruire e gestire una linea ad alta velocità di 450 km che collega le città di Mecca e Medina.

Bombardier's supply scope for Talgo includes the BOMBARDIER MITRAC 3000 propulsion and control package, the BOMBARDIER FLEXX Power 350 high speed bogies for the power heads of the 330 km/h trains and 12-year maintenance services for the Bombardier-built systems and components. The majority of Bombardier's manufacturing for the project will take place at its plant in Trápaga, Spain.

The technology is similar to that of the 46 AVE 102 and AVE 112 trains developed and manufactured for RENFE between 2001 and 2010. Bombardier has participated in the development of many of the world's leading high speed rail systems, including four different generations of TGV in France, the ICE trains used in Germany and the Netherlands, Italy's ETR 500 and V300ZEFIRO, Spain's AVE 102 and AVE 112, China's Xinshisu, the BOMBARDIER ZEFIRO family of high speed trains and the Acela in the USA.
