Bombardier Enters ERTMS Level 2 High Speed Rail Control Market in
Spain
- Bombardier is a key player in High Speed Corridor North-North
West rail signalling upgrade
- Advanced BOMBARDIER INTERFLO 450 system to be delivered on the
high-speed line between Venta de Banos and Burgos
- Important reference adds to Bombardier's global high speed
portfolio
MADRID, SPAIN--(Marketwired - Jun 13, 2014) - Rail technology
leader Bombardier Transportation has added a new European Rail
Traffic Management System (ERTMS) Level 2 high speed reference to
its portfolio with the award of the High Speed North-North West
Corridor rail signalling upgrade contract in Spain. The project
which includes the lines Valladolid - León and Venta de Baños -
Burgos is being delivered by a consortium led by Alstom that
includes Bombardier and Indra. The order, awarded by Spain's
Administrator of Railway Infrastructure (ADIF), has a total value
of approximately 339 million euro ($459 million US), with
Bombardier's share valued at approximately 144 million euro ($195
million US).1
As a major consortium partner, Bombardier will implement its
globally proven radio-based INTERFLO 450 ERTMS Level 2
system for the Venta de Baños - Burgos section. The system features
the latest generation BOMBARDIER EBI Com radio block
centre (RBC) and EBI Link balise technology as well as the
advanced EBI Lock 950 computer-based interlocking (CBI),
and EBI Track train detection systems. For both sections
of line, Bombardier will supply fixed communications, CCTV and
GSM-R technology. The contract will be delivered in 24 months and
includes 20 years maintenance and two years warranty.
Peter Cedervall, President, Division Rail Control Solutions,
Bombardier Transportation, said: "This new contract marks
Bombardier's entry into the ERTMS Level 2 market in Spain and adds
an excellent very high-speed project reference to our global
portfolio. It is a major milestone for our presence in both the
Spanish market and the European Union as a whole. We look forward
to implementing our technology and delivering a successful system
to our key customer ADIF, together with our partners Alstom and
Indra."
Bombardier is leading the delivery on the first two contracts
for the signalling upgrade on the Mediterranean Corridor: for
Castellbisbal-Tarragona and Almussafes-Valencia-Castellón.
Bombardier's ERTMS systems are installed on over 2,300 rail
vehicles and more than 21,000 km of track. The cost saving
INTERFLO 450 ERTMS Level 2 solution provides the highest
speeds, safety and capacity, as well as outstanding reliability and
reduced implementation and operational costs. INTERFLO 450
ERTMS Level 2 systems have been operating at very high speeds up to
350 km/h in China since 2009. Other global contracts include
first-in-market projects underway in Poland and extensive framework
agreements in Sweden.
