Bombardier Transportation announced today that the San Francisco
Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) confirmed an order for 150
additional rail cars valued at approximately $266 million US ($274
million CDN, 213 million euro). The order represents the exercise
of an option under a contract signed on June 14, 2012. With this
option, Bombardier now has firm orders for 410 cars with a total
value of approximately $897 million US ($921 million CDN, 715
million euro).
Designated by BART as its "Fleet of the Future", the new cars
will replace BART's entire existing fleet and enable system
expansion. Bombardier will assemble the cars at its manufacturing
plant in Plattsburgh, New York. Ten pilot cars are scheduled to be
delivered in the spring of 2015, followed by comprehensive testing
of the pilot cars on the BART system. The delivery of the 400
remaining production series cars is expected to follow between
early 2017 and the spring of 2020.
Raymond Bachant, President, Bombardier Transportation North
America, said: "We appreciate the confidence that BART is
demonstrating in Bombardier and look forward to providing BART, its
passengers, and all citizens of the Bay Area with new rail cars
that meet the need for rapid, reliable and cost-effective urban
transport."
