By GlobalData“I would also like to take this opportunity to express my thanks to Italy’s rail industry, especially our Bombardier employees, as they play their part in supporting our nation during these unprecedented times.”
A consortium of Bombardier, Alstom and AnsaldoBreda delivered 58 ETR500 trains to Italy. These vehicles were introduced into the service in the mid-1990s.
Since 2008, these very high-speed trains were being operated by Trenitalia’s Frecciarossa (red arrow) brand.
Bombardier Transportation has nearly 700 employees in Italy located at various sites.
In March, the company secured a $193m contract to supply 19 Regio 2N double-deck vehicles to the French National Railway Company (SNCF).
The trains will operate on the Lyon-Mâcon and Lyon-Valence lines from mid-2023.
