Bombardier Transportation and Hitachi Rail aim to deliver a “Spitfire for the British railway” as they joins forces to make a bid for HS2 Phase One’s £2.75 billion rolling stock contract.
A shortlist to build at least 54 conventional compatible trains for Britain’s new high-speed line was released in November. Hitachi and Bombardier are joined by Alstom, Siemens, and Talgo on this shortlist.
A formal tendering process is due to start later in 2018, with the contract awarded in late 2019.
These trains will run on a new high-speed network that will connect eight out of 10 of Britain’s largest cities, increasing capacity, delivering faster journeys and contributing to prosperity and growth.
Hitachi Rail managing director Karen Boswell said the two aim to deliver a new British icon that will be recognised around the world.
She added: “By joining together in partnership with Bombardier, we will draw on a huge wealth of UK experience and the best in modern technology – including our pioneering ‘bullet train’ experience.”
Both businesses have experience of manufacturing high-speed trains. 0028名無し野電車区 (アウアウカー Sac9-ntJH)2018/07/04(水) 23:08:20.62ID:aa4QJmIQa Hitachi built the original Shinkansen bullet train in Japan in 1964 and it also built and now maintains the country’s only domestic high speed fleet, the Class 395 Javelins.
Bombardier has built more than 3,000 high-speed train carriages for China, including the most recent Zefiro 380.
In Europe, Bombardier has enabled some of the most prestigious very high-speed developments across the continent, including four TGV series in France, the AVE S-102 and AVE S-130 in Spain, the ICE family in Germany and the ETR 500 in Italy.
Hitachi and Bombardier previously delivered one of Europe’s fastest trains in Italy the ETR 1000 for Trenitalia – also known as the ‘Red Arrow’ (Frecciarossa) – which has a top speed of 398km/h.
Bombardier and Hitachi’s combined UK operations include train factories in Derby and Newton Aycliffe, extensive UK supply chains, together with a network of maintenance facilities across England, Scotland and Wales. They have a combined base of more than 5,000 members of staff in Great Britain. 0029名無し野電車区 (ワッチョイ 6eeb-/RMY)2018/07/04(水) 23:09:30.91ID:7Ly8ohX/0 ああもう、この減便荒らしはただのコピペ荒らしに成り果ててしまった 食べられないよ 0030名無し野電車区 (アウアウカー Sac9-ntJH)2018/07/04(水) 23:12:42.48ID:aa4QJmIQa Building HS2’s trains: what you need to know about the bidders
HS2 has today updated the shortlist of bidders for the £2.75 billion contract to build at least 54 ‘conventional compatible’ trains for Britain’s new high-speed line.
To put that figure into perspective, Bombardier’s train contract for Crossrail was for £1 billion, Siemens’ Thameslink order with the British government was for £1.6 billion and its recent award from Transport for London for a new generation of Tube trains was for £1.5 billion.
The five bidders have various footprints in the UK, from long legacies of orders and jobs to one which has only recently begun the search for a potential site, but every one will be hoping to outdo the competition.
As they work to finalise their bids ahead of the formal tender process starting later this year, Global Rail News takes a look at the capacity and capability of each of the companies to fulfil one of Britain’s most lucrative train contracts. 0031名無し野電車区 (アウアウカー Sac9-ntJH)2018/07/04(水) 23:13:53.62ID:aa4QJmIQa Alstom Transport
The French firm opened its train modernisation centre in Widnes, Chesire, in June 2017. The 13,000m² site has been described as the largest rolling stock modernisation facility in the country and is currently working through a €28 million (around £24.6 million) contract to repaint a fleet of 56 Pendolino trains for Virgin Trains. The site is also the location of the company’s rail academy.
At the time of the opening, Alstom’s senior vice-president, Gian-Luca Erbacci, said that the company has committed to building new trains at Widnes should it win contracts, giving the example of Transport for London’s Deep Tube Programme. 0032名無し野電車区 (アウアウカー Sac9-ntJH)2018/07/04(水) 23:14:44.46ID:aa4QJmIQa Reacting to the HS2 train-building shortlist, Alstom UK & Ireland’s managing director, Nick Crossfield, said that the company will use Widnes to train a new generation of apprentices to support the project, but has so far not clarified whether high-speed trains would be built there. He added that it would work with the UK supply chain to “create a sustainable long-term legacy of growth and opportunity”.
Nick also noted that Alstom has the widest range of high-speed trains on the market. It currently manufactures four types: the Pendolino, which travels up to 250km/h; Euroduplex, a double-deck very-high-speed train with a maximum speed of 320km/h; Avelia Liberty, capable of speeds of up to 350km/h; and AGV, another very-high-speed train with operational speeds of up to 360km/h. 0033名無し野電車区 (アウアウイー Sa11-ntJH)2018/07/04(水) 23:41:23.17ID:Mp08wxvKa>>13 お前が死んでこい 0034名無し野電車区 (アウアウウー Sa0b-VkiO)2018/07/05(木) 08:00:14.98ID:js2s5oeXa>>29 まだコピペで満足してるだけマシじゃん 「今のボクはボクじゃない!!」とかなんとか喚いちゃいながら包丁とかでご両親とかそこらのお子様とかお年寄りとか無差別に殺傷しちゃったりするかもだぜ? 0035名無し野電車区 (オッペケ Sr3b-XRAR)2018/07/05(木) 09:11:31.92ID:L3/zl6Ajr スレ終わりのどさくさに、かってに古市以遠廃止のデマカキコした奴、許さん。 0036名無し野電車区 (スププ Sd7f-w9UG)2018/07/05(木) 09:18:03.16ID:jmvTE9ARd>>35 そんなの無視しとけさ。 0037名無し野電車区 (アウアウウー Sa0b-VkiO)2018/07/05(木) 09:34:57.26ID:js2s5oeXa>>35 電車に乗って奇声発する減便ガイジにわざわざうるさいとか説教するか? つまりそういうことだ 0038名無し野電車区 (ワッチョイ 67a2-NMNi)2018/07/05(木) 10:50:22.49ID:qMtmySXK0 珍しい場所で人身事故 0039名無し野電車区 (ワッチョイ e71b-gCzY)2018/07/05(木) 12:07:40.48ID:iXXf2MoU0 ババアが駆け込み乗車した結果www https://youtu.be/2zCVRzBQ6Is0040名無し野電車区 (アウアウウー Sa0b-VkiO)2018/07/05(木) 12:46:52.70ID:js2s5oeXa>>39 死ねよ 0041test (オッペケ Sr3b-f7ry)2018/07/05(木) 13:29:35.81ID:0aH6rQCrr ,-――-、 __l\ / ̄ ̄ ̄\ { , -_−_− > \ . / ,.-―(./ヽ (6( /),(ヽ| `7並)^5' ついにスネ夫まで…。 { / 三 ))`´P人 −- ソ '−z ノ 天国でジャイアンと仲良くしてくれ .
