Canada-based passenger trains maker Bombardier is planning to develop India as the exports hub for its products and solutions to cater to Europe, South America and the Middle East markets. Bombardier produces propulsion components and rail control solution systems and also provides engineering support for software development and testing of rail vehicles engineering.
The company has a manufacturing facility in Savli, Gujarat, that produces 450 commuter cars along with bogies and other components, which are also exported to markets like Australia, Brazil and Saudi Arabia. While the propulsion components factory is located at Maneja in Vadodara, the rail control solutions facility is in Gurgaon. A substantial portion of USD 2.7 billion for Bombardier Transportation is being executed at its Indian sites in Savli and Maneja.
Apart from commuter cars and components, the company has also launched a traffic management system for Mumbai commuter rail system, which it plans to repeat in other projects, not only in rail vehicles and rail control solutions but also in total transit systems.
