Bombardier-CRRC joint venture awarded high-speed train maintenance contract

BST will provide maintenance for 71 CRH1A-A, CRH1A, CRH1B, CRH1E and CRH380D trains, which will be completed by the end of the year. BST was awarded a maintenance contract for 560 coaches in February last year, which has since been completed, with these short-term maintenance contracts common in China.

Bombardier has seven joint ventures, six wholly foreign-owned enterprises, and more than 8000 employees in China.

“We are very honoured to be awarded this maintenance service contract at the beginning of this year,” says Bombardier Transportation China president, Mr Jianwei Zhang. “Our team’s skills and experience across the portfolio will ensure we deliver a high-quality maintenance service.”
