Rail technology leader Bombardier Transportation announced today
that its Chinese joint venture, CRRC Puzhen Bombardier
Transportation Systems Limited (PBTS), has been awarded a contract
from Shenzhen Airport Co. Ltd to provide a BOMBARDIER INNOVIA
automated people mover (APM) 300 system to Shenzhen Airport in
China. The PBTS joint venture will deliver an Integrated System
Package, including 18 cars, for a 2.6 km APM line connecting an
airside satellite to Shenzhen Airport’s existing Terminal 3. The
total contract is valued at approximately 453 million CNY ($70
million US, 61 million euro) with the APM system scheduled to enter
service in 2020.
Bombardier owns 50% of the shares in PBTS, which is consolidated
by Bombardier Transportation’s partner CRRC Nanjing Puzhen
Co., Limited.
Jianwei Zhang, President, Bombardier China, said, “The INNOVIA
APM 300 system is one of our leading airport and urban
transportation solutions. There are already more than one hundred
airports in China and we are confident that, with our cutting-edge
technology, strong reliability, availability and punctuality,
combined with our sharp focus on passenger safety and comfort, our
APM system is the ideal passenger mobility solution for China’s
fast-growing airports.”
Since opening in 2013, Shenzhen airport’s Terminal 3 has seen
rapid passenger growth, surpassing 45 million passengers by the end
of 2017, and is estimated to be moving up to 82 million passengers
by 2025. To accommodate this rising demand, Shenzhen has chosen the
INNOVIA APM 300, an innovative APM system representing the very
latest in driverless solution technology. Incorporating
Bombardier’s more than 40 years of experience in automated transit
operations across some of the world’s busiest airports and urban
environments, the INNOVIA APM offers increased passenger capacity,
greater speeds and an aluminium carbody that will continue to meet
the ever-increasing industry standards for safety and
sustainability.
Bombardier has already supplied APM systems to Beijing Capital
International Airport, Shanghai Metro Line 8 and Guangzhou
Zhujiangxincheng and is also currently delivering an INNOVIA APM
300 system for Hong Kong Airport. With this latest contract,
Bombardier’s APM technology will be in service in China's five
largest urban centers.
