Bombardier Receives an Order for the Supply of 55 Trams From the Istanbul Transportation Company MONTREAL, QUEBEC--JUNE 27, 2001 - 08:08 EDT Bombardier Transportation was awarded a contract by the Istanbul Transportation Company (ITC) for the development and supply of 55 low-floor trams. The contract is valued at approximately Cdn$112 million (86 million Euro). The delivery of the vehicles will begin in autumn 2002. Bombardier Transportation in Vienna will be responsible for the development and production of the vehicles as well as for the system integration and testing. Bombardier Transportation in Västeras (Sweden) will supply the electrical equipment. The vehicles allow level boarding even from the new platform height of only 350 mm in the Istanbul city centre. This contract underlines once more the success of Bombardier Transportation's low-floor vehicle concept. The vehicles for Istanbul are based on the vehicles for Cologne (K 4000), Croydon and Stockholm. At 30 m length they offer a total passenger capacity of 272. An air-conditioned vehicle interior and increased space for standees are only some of the features that respond to Istanbul's particular requirements. "We are very pleased by the confidence Istanbul has placed in us by awarding Bombardier Transportation this order. This new order for trams is an excellent demonstration of the wide scope of the new Bombardier Transportation where the strong position of Bombardier in LRVs is complemented by the propulsion technology of the former Adtranz" said Mr. Pierre Lortie, President and Chief Operating Officer of Bombardier Transportation.
