Alstom to locally manufacture and maintain PTA’s C-series trains
for Perth’s growing rail network
10 December 2019 – Alstom has
signed a contract with the Public Transport Authority of Western
Australia (PTA) to manufacture and maintain the next generation of
C-series trains for Perth’s growing rail network.
Under the contract, worth approximately €800
million (AUD1.3 billion), Alstom will be responsible for the
design, supply, manufacturing, testing and commissioning of 41 x
6-car electric (EMU) and 2 x 3-car diesel (DMU) trains, which
includes 50% local content, 20 years maintenance of the EMU trains
and maintenance support services for the DMU trains.
The trains will be manufactured in PTA’s
Bellevue assembly facility and delivered over a 7-year period
commencing in 2022. The contract includes options for an additional
30 EMU trains and a further two options of 5 + 5 years of
maintenance.
“The METRONET project provides a unique
opportunity for Western Australia to manage Perth’s projected
future growth while re-establishing its railway manufacturing
industry, creating jobs, investing in infrastructure and supporting
local manufacturing and supply chains,” said Ling Fang, Senior Vice
President Asia Pacific at Alstom. “We are delighted to have been
awarded this contract and look forward to partnering with the State
of Western Australia to deliver this significant project.”
The project will see the transfer of the latest
railway technologies and manufacturing processes to Western
Australia, establishing the most technologically advanced train
manufacturing and maintenance sites in Australia. Alstom will
provide fast-tracked training and skills development programmes
through dedicated partnerships with local TAFE and training
organisations, creating a new generation of skilled railway
manufacturing professionals. The project will create more than 120
Western Australian Jobs including 15% apprentices and aboriginal
workers.
Alstom will deliver an innovative, fully
integrated rolling stock and maintenance solution based on the
service proven X’Trapolis platform. The C-series trains provide
higher levels of passenger capacity and comfort, delivered with
advanced, service proven solutions for performance and reliability
with an uncompromised level of safety. The trains will be more
energy efficient and designed to accommodate future upgrades
throughout their operational life. They have a capacity of
approximately 1200 passengers and include three double passenger
doors per car for enhanced passenger flows.
The C-series will be
maintained at PTA’s Nowergup depot and will utilise Alstom’s
innovative HealthHub™ predictive maintenance tools that will
optimise the performance and reliability of the trains throughout
their lifecycle.
This contract further strengthens Alstom’s
position as a leading supplier of railway technology, systems and
infrastructure for the Australian market.
