BERLINO, GERMANIA-- (Marketwire - 30 giugno 2010) - Bombardier Transportation ha annunciato oggi di essersi aggiudicata una commessa di 74 carrozze per la metropolitana BOMBARDIER MOVIA dalla Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (DMRC). Il valore del contratto ammonta a circa 83 milioni di euro (101 milioni di dollari USA) e prevede un'opzione per altre 40 carrozze. La consegna seguirà il completamento dei contratti esistenti e dovrebbe concludersi nel 2011. Con l'attribuzione di questo contratto DMRC gestirà un parco importante, costituito da 498 carrozze MOVIA, e otterrà economie di scala in termini sia di costi di acquisto che di costi di manutenzione.

The new achievement is a further milestone for Bombardier's railway vehicle manufacturing operations in India, part of a sound and swiftly implemented business expansion plan. The company signed its first contract with DMRC in July 2007, inaugurated its manufacturing plant in Savli, Gujarat in November 2008 and completed the local manufacturing of its first metro car in June 2009. Today over 160 of these MOVIA cars are successfully operating in Delhi's metro network.

Stephane Rambaud-Measson, President, Passengers Division, Bombardier Transportation, declared: "We are delighted to receive this additional order from Delhi Metro. It is an excellent endorsement of our increasing industrial presence in India, which is growing from strength to strength."

The recent industrial set-up at Savli, where MOVIA metro cars for DMRC are manufactured, is a landmark achievement by any standard. The site was built in a record 18 months involving a great deal of skill and co-operation from Bombardier teams in India and abroad. Providing a further impetus to the local economy and a testament to India's vast skills base, the site generated 750 new jobs and over 2,000 indirect jobs through the local supplier network.

Rajeev Jyoti, President & Managing Director, Bombardier Transportation in India, said: "India's railway industry is expanding at great speed to keep up with the infrastructural requirements of the country. Having anticipated this growth, Bombardier in India is more than ready and willing to match the industry's needs in terms of products, technology and our international expertise. Making Vadodara the only city in the world equipped to deliver all key electrical and mechanical components for the manufacturing of a railway vehicle is a clear demonstration of Bombardier's local capacity and commitment."

In the phase II expansion of the Delhi Metro, the modern MOVIA high-capacity vehicles will transport an impressive 4 million passengers every day, reducing their journey time and alleviating the heavy traffic congestion and pollution prevalent in the city. The phase II expansion extends the existing network to a total of 125 kilometres covering all major destinations in the East-West and North-South corridors of the city, which is occupied by approximately 16 million inhabitants.
