3 June
2021 – Alstom’s Chinese joint
venture, CRRC Puzhen Bombardier Transportation Systems Limited
(PBTS)1, has been awarded a 27-year contract to maintain the
Innovia Monorail 300 platform for Wuhu City in China’s Anhui
Province.
Under the agreement, PBTS will be responsible
for maintaining Wuhu Yunda Rail Transit Construction and Operation
Co., Ltd.’s new monorail, scheduled to enter operation at the end
of 2021. The contract comprises technical support and spare part
supply as well as the labour and materials required to carry out
the Innovia fleet’s corrective and preventive maintenance, and
overhauls, in addition to maintaining the system’s guideway
switches and depot equipment. The fleet is based on a contract PBTS
signed in 2017 to supply Wuhu City’s Innovia Monorail 300 platform,
along with a total of 240 cars. Once complete, the new 24-station,
30.3 km Line 1 and the 12-station, 16.5 km Line 2 Phase One, will
be the first two monorail lines in Wuhu and form the backbone of
the city’s public rail transportation system.
“We are very proud to continue making
significant contributions to developing Wuhu’s public
transportation network with our integrated urban mobility
solutions. This latest order demonstrates the confidence that
Wuhu’s authority has in the Build & Maintain principle and
their trust in Alstom’s leading role in China’s growing
transportation sector following the acquisition of Bombardier
Transportation,” said Jianwei Zhang, President of Alstom China.
Designed to integrate seamlessly into urban
environments, Alstom’s fully automated and driverless Innovia
monorail systems provide an energy-efficient, comfortable, and
cost-effective mobility solution, particularly suited for rapidly
growing or dense cities. These modern and quiet vehicles run on
elevated guideways that are built off-site to permit fast assembly
with minimal on-site disruption. Alstom offers 30 years of
expertise in successful monorail design, build, operations and
maintenance, with industry leading availability and safety
standards.
In addition, Alstom has a long-standing track
record of providing operations and maintenance (O&M) services
for transit systems across the globe, with a total of 42 active
O&M projects, 23 of which are full turnkey systems. Its
comprehensive services portfolio also includes modernisation,
parts, repairs, overhauls, and digital support services.
Present in China for over 60 years, Alstom has
been participating in the full spectrum of railway projects, with a
complete range of rolling stock (high-speed trains, railway
passenger cars, locomotives, metro, automated people movers,
monorail and trams), customised services, as well as infrastructure
and signalling solutions. With the completion of the acquisition of
Bombardier Transportation effective Jan. 29, 2021, Alstom China has
thirteen joint ventures, seven wholly foreign-owned enterprises,
and over 11,000 employees. Together, the joint ventures have
delivered more than 5,900 railway passenger cars, 1,530 electric
locomotives, 7,194 metro cars, 536 Monorail cars, 168 automated
people mover cars and 191 tram cars to China’s growing rail transit
market as well as to overseas markets. In China, Alstom also
provides customers with a wide range of services solutions, from
heavy maintenance to modernisations, and has 2,252 metro cars under
maintenance contracts. It is a major signalling supplier to the
Chinese high-speed network, and through its joint ventures, its
signalling systems are utilized in 102 urban mass transit lines and
its propulsion equipment are applied in 100 metro lines in Chinese
cities.
