Bombardier Transportation livrera 34 nouvelles voitures à deux niveaux au Land allemand de Basse Saxe

Landesnahverkehrsgesellschaft Niedersachsen passe une commande supplémentaire.


BERLIN, ALLEMAGNE-(Marketwire - 23 décembre 2008) - Bombardier Transport fabriquera 34 nouvelles voitures à deux niveaux pour la Landesnahverkehrsgesellschaft Niedersachsen GmbH (LNVG). Cette commande est évaluée à environ 46 millions d'euros (66 millions de $ US). Avec cette commande, la LNVG comptera dans son parc 186 voitures à deux niveaux de Bombardier, qui sont en service depuis 2003.

Les nouvelles voitures commandées sont à deux niveaux avec palier intermédiaire et plancher haut et comprennent de confortables sections de deuxième classe aux niveaux inférieur et supérieur. Elles comprendront les mêmes fonctions que les voitures qui sont déjà en exploitation et seront entièrement compatibles avec celles-ci.

Dr Wolf Gorka, Managing Director of LNVG, said: "The double-deck coaches have really proven themselves and are well accepted by our passengers. We plan to operate the new trains on the lines south of Hamburg in particular. With them, we are reacting to increasing demand and strengthening our current set of coaches."

Stephan Krenz, Managing Director and Head of Business Unit Germany & Scandinavia Bombardier Transportation, said: "This follow-up order proves our global expertise in the field of modern double-deck coaches. High levels of reliability, flexibility and comfort as well as fast delivery times make our trains stand out and lead to greater acceptance by operators and passengers."

All the vehicles will be manufactured at the Bombardier site in Gorlitz. Over 2,000 double-deck coaches of a comparable type have already been supplied from this site over the last 19 years for use in Germany.

The Bombardier double-deck coaches also operate internationally in suburban and regional transport, for example The Netherlands, Denmark, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Poland, and Israel.
