Listen to this article

Bombardier Transportation announced that it has received an order from the Florida Department of Transportation for the supply of 14 BiLevel rail cars for the central Florida SunRail commuter rail project to provide service to the Orlando area.

This 14-car order brings the total number of North American BiLevel car customers to 14 with nearly 1,000 cars already in operation across the United States and Canada.

The contract is valued at approximately $41 million US. Under the agreement, up to an additional 46 vehicles could be ordered.

Deliveries are planned between May and August 2013.

“Bombardier is proud to be part of this very important expansion of public transit in central Florida by offering rail transportation as a solution for increasing mobility, reducing congestion, and benefiting the regional economy,” said Raymond Bachant, President, Bombardier Transportation, North America.

“We greatly appreciate the confidence the Florida Department of Transportation has placed in us.”

In service since 1978, the Bombardier BiLevel commuter rail car is a service-proven transit solution that provides unparalleled reliability and cost efficiency, along with one of the shortest delivery schedules in the industry.

BiLevel cars offer the cost advantages of a common platform, while allowing customers to build-in features that meet specific needs and requirements.
