Bombardier Technology’s Chinese joint venture, Bombardier NUG Propulsion System Co. Ltd (BNP) has signed two contracts with the Chinese United Group (NUG) to provide its Mitrac propulsion and control equipment for the Nanchang Metro Line 3 and Line 2 Extension Project.
Together, the two contracts are valued at approximately 204 million CNY (€26 million), with Bombardier’s direct share in the contract valued at approximately 23 million SEK (€2 million).
“With our global network and strong presence in China, we can follow and serve our customers whenever needed”
“We are very proud to support the Chinese market by equipping metro cars with our Mitrac propulsion equipment and to continuously power the rapid development of the Chinese urban mass transit systems with our proven and reliable technology,” said Jianwei Zhang, President of Bombardier China. “As always, we support and serve our customers during the operation with a complete range of high quality services over the full product lifetime.
