Stadler wins first large contract in the Pacific region
Switzerland-based rail manufacturer Stadler has won a tender for the supply of 34 diesel-electric locomotives to Taiwan Railways Administration (TRA) in Taiwan. Just over three weeks ago Stadler announced the establishment of a joint venture with PT Inka in Indonesia.
The EUR 165 million order to develop and build locomotives for TRA represents the second success story from Asia within a short time period: For Stadler this is the first major series of rail vehicles to be delivered to the Pacific region.
The locomotives will be built at the Stadler plant in Valencia, Spain and are intended for passenger and freight traffic on the narrow gauge network –1,067 millimetres –in Taiwan. (ben)
