The 154 million euro contract covers maintenance for 50 new V300ZEFIRO high speed trains
Bombardier Transportation has won a 10-year contract to maintain Trenitalia’s fleet of 50 V300ZEFIRO very high speed trains, known in Italy as the Frecciarossa 1000. One of the most important fleet maintenance contracts awarded in Italy in recent years, the contract will be executed in association with Bombardier’s consortium partner AnsaldoBreda, an Italian rail transport engineering firm. Bombardier Transportation’s share of the contract is valued at approximately 154 million euro ($191 million US).
Jean Baptiste Eymeoud, Head of Services Execution, Bombardier Transportation, Western Europe, Middle East, Africa (WMA) said, “Our target is to optimise the availability and reliability of the new vehicles with the adequate preventive and corrective maintenance program once the vehicles enter revenue service by mid-2015. This contract and its duration represent a great achievement for the Frecciarossa 1000 and will reinforce Bombardier’s long-term commitment to Italy.” Bombardier’s services execution team in Italy is already responsible for the maintenance of more than 200 vehicles in the country.
Manufactured in partnership with AnsaldoBreda, the Frecciarossa 1000 is the newest member of the Bombarider Zefiro family of high-speed trains. With a top commercial speed of up to 360 km/h, the V300ZEFIRO is the fastest train in Europe and its advanced, high acceleration delivers excellent travel times, even on winding routes.
