South AfricA

Bombardier transportation, as a member

of the Bombela consortium, provided the impressive 80 km rapid rail transit system

that connects Johannesburg, tshwane (Pretoria) and the or tambo

international Airport in South Africa.

In a contract awarded in 2006, Bombardier was

responsible for the design and supply of the core

electrical and mechanical systems, including a fleet of

96 BoMBarDIEr* ElEctrostar* vehicles, and is now

providing 15 years of maintenance services.

The commuter system features the BoMBarDIEr*

cItYFlo* 250 train control technology, well proven on

transportation systems in europe. The ElEctrostar

vehicles, of which most underwent final assembly in

South Africa, were designed for commuter operation

and are capable of speeds of up to 160 km/h.

The project was a Public Private Partnership, consisting

of financing, designing, building and operations and

maintenance of the Gautrain Rapid Rail Link.
