Downer EDI Limited (DOW) today announced that they have received an order for an additional 20 three-car passenger trains from Queensland Rail (QR) valued in excess of $200 million.
Downer EDI CEO Geoff Knox said “This win is a great reflection on the success of our joint venture with our technology partner Bombardier and in our long-term relationship with QR to deliver reliable public transport for the people of Queensland. We will commence manufacture of the new train cars later this year following the successful delivery and commissioning of our existing contract for the manufacture of 44 passenger trains for QR.”
The trains will be manufactured at our recently upgraded manufacturing facility in Maryborough, and we will be working with local suppliers to source components for the trains.
