Bombardier Transportation acquista una partecipazione in una controllata delle Ferrovierusse

Bombardier conferma l'acquisizione, annunciata a dicembre 2010, di una partecipazione in Elteza, società produttrice di sistemi di segnalazione.

BERLINO, GERMANIA--(Marketwire - 2 marzo 2011) - Bombardier conferma oggi che in seguito alla sottoscrizione di un contratto di compravendita di azioni a Mosca, il 13 dicembre 2010, BT Signaling B.V. ha acquistato una partecipazione in United Electrical Engineering Plants, conosciuta come Elteza, una società produttrice di sistemi di segnalazione. La partecipazione di BT Signaling B.V. in Elteza, controllata delle Ferrovie russe (RZD), è del 25%. Una volta autorizzata, BT Signaling B.V. potrebbe aumentare la propria partecipazione fino al 50%. RZD resterà l'azionista di maggioranza.

 

Elteza is Russia's largest signalling equipment producer with more than 3,000 employees across seven manufacturing sites. The company focuses on the design, development and production of rail signalling equipment and automatic and remote train control systems which have been delivered in Russia, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and the Baltic states. The new partnership will be one of the first successful examples of the privatisation of a Russian Railways' subsidiary and part of the modernization strategy of RZD.

 

Already strong partners in the signalling sector, Bombardier and RZD have a well established engineering joint venture, Bombardier Transportation (Signal) Ltd., in operation in Moscow since 1996. This partnership has worked in close cooperation with Elteza to equip over 100 Russian stations with BOMBARDIER EBI Lock 950 computer-based interlocking (CBI) technology. This new agreement leads to the creation of an Elteza department dedicated to new technologies and focusing on the manufacture of products including EBI Lock 950 as well as the latest generation of wayside products.

It also provides BOMBARDIER INTERFLO mainline solutions, from conventional systems to ERTMS level 2 systems. Bombardier solutions encompass a broad portfolio of wayside and onboard products.
