Rail technology leader Bombardier Transportation announced today
that it has won an order from SL, the Stockholm Public Transport
Authority, to deliver the new generation C30 metro fleet for
Stockholm, Sweden, with a contract to provide 96 MOVIA metro
vehicles. The contract includes an option for up to 80 further
vehicles. The firm order is valued at approximately 5.1 billion SEK
(590 million euro, $771 million US).
Based on the highly successful MOVIA metro platform, which
Bombardier has delivered to major cities worldwide from New York to
London to Singapore, the new high-technology MOVIA C30 metros have
been customised to meet the specific requirements of SL for high
availability, accessibility, reliability and passenger comfort. The
new fleet will run on the Red Line connecting Stockholm's
north-eastern and south-western suburbs directly with the city
centre. The four-car vehicles, fitted with a driver's cab at each
end, are also equipped with advanced driverless functionality.
The new air-conditioned MOVIA C30 metros offer improved access
for passengers with restricted mobility. The vehicles feature
advanced passenger information systems and fulfil the highest
environmental standards regarding energy consumption and choice of
almost entirely recyclable materials. Delivery is scheduled to
start in November 2016 with the start of traffic scheduled in early
2017.
The order confirms Bombardier's leadership in providing
innovative, sustainable metro solutions worldwide. Bombardier MOVIA
metros are high-tech, high capacity trains that deliver rapid,
reliable and cost-effective transport for more than seven billion
passenger trips globally every year, including major cities like
Montreal, Berlin, Shanghai and New Delhi, with new automated
vehicles also entering service in Singapore. Bombardier has sold
more than 4,000 MOVIA metro cars to date and they travel an average
of about 120,000 km per year.
With the new MOVIA C30 metro, SL is once again proving its
leadership as a modern operator. The vehicles' passenger comfort,
extra capacity and design fit perfectly into a city that is a
trend-setter for the entire world. They are equipped with a number
of advanced technical features including the extremely energy
efficient BOMBARDIER FLEXX Eco bogies that also reduce maintenance
costs and the well-proven BOMBARDIER MITRAC propulsion system.
These features contribute to maximum passenger capacity with
minimal energy consumption and low noise.
The vehicles will travel around 150,000 km per year and will
offer the system capacity to transport up to 60,000 passengers per
hour. Bombardier will also provide its BOMBARDIER ORBIFLO
intelligent train to wayside communication system, which is linked
to the driverless feature and also provides real-time service
information and passenger service updates.
Bombardier has supplied metro cars to Stockholm for over 60
years, including the C20 series that forms the backbone of the
Stockholm metro fleet. The new generation C30 vehicles bring the
latest metro technology to enhance the capacity and performance of
the city's transport system.
