Bombardier wins order worth EUR 184 millionFebruary 1, 2012 - By Charlotte Stubben |
Bombardier Transportation has signed a contract for the delivery of up to 60 Bombardier Flexity trams with the City of Basel’s Transport Authority (BVB).
It is the biggest order placed by the BVB in its 116-year history. The contract is valued at approximately 222 million Swiss francs (184 million euro, $241 million US).
By selecting Bombardier’s Flexity trams, the BVB has opted for a proven vehicle platform that has been specifically customised to meet the city’s requirements and designed to reflect its cultural diversity.
The contract consists of options for several deliveries: the first delivery comprises the vehicle specifications and two Flexity trams.
The first new trams will go into operation in time for the opening of the extension of tram line number eight to Weil am Rhein, in 2013.
From 2014, two new Flexity trams will be delivered to Basel every month, subject to confirmation by the legislature of the Swiss canton Basel-Stadt.
