Rail technology leader Bombardier Transportation
today announced that French National Railway Company, Societe
nationale des chemins de fer francais (SNCF), has placed an order
for 52 additional Francilien Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) commuter
trains. The order, financed by Ile-de-France's transport authority
Syndicat des transports d'Ile-de-France (STIF), is valued at
approximately 348 million euro ($370 million US) and is a call off
from a contract signed in 2006 with SNCF for a maximum of 372
trains. The first trains of this order will be delivered in early
2018 and will operate from the Paris Saint Lazare Station as part
of the STIF transportation modernisation plan.
"The Francilien, specially designed and
manufactured for the Ile-de-France at our site in Crespin,
Hauts-de-France, is a reliable, high performing train that meets
ongoing challenges experienced in such densely populated areas",
stated Laurent Bouyer, President, Bombardier Transportation France.
"These modern trains offer room for up to 1,000 people with wide
doors for easy accessibility and open gangways that increase
passenger flow. All these features are contributing greatly to the
punctuality of the service."
To date there are almost 200 Francilien trains in
service, testimony to the confidence in Bombardier to deliver
reliable products as part of its ongoing long term partnership with
the French Railways and the STIF. The Francilien fleet boasts the
highest performance rates on SNCF's Transilien network. As an
innovation driver, from the start of the project, Bombardier
focused on passenger needs and designed a modern spacious commuter
train with a high capacity. It is equipped with modern security
systems and the latest energy efficient and intelligent
technologies that decrease the footprint on the environment.
Bombardier's site in Crespin, France's largest
industrial rail site, designs, builds and operates innovative
trains, meeting daily transport needs. The site built its
reputation on the AGC regional trains and is now delivering two
major projects: the Francilien commuter train for the Ile de France
Region and the BOMBARDIER OMNEO double deck platform which includes
the Regio 2N and the OMNEO Premium intercity train.
Nearly 1,000 "made in Hauts-de-France" Bombardier
trains operate daily, offering reliable and comfortable journeys to
passengers. In 2015, Bombardier trains travelled 150 million
kilometers throughout France, which is equivalent to 550 000
private cars on the roads to ensure these journeys.
