Bombardier expands engineering, product development in India

Bombardier Transportation has opened a new Rail Control Solutions (RCS) office for engineering and product development (EAPD) in Gurgaon.
The Canada-headquartered rail technology leader, which has a manufacturing plant at Savli near here, said the unit in the National Capital Region (NCR) expands its global network of specialised centres which develop and design products for latest rail control solutions delivered worldwide.
The team at the Gurgaon facility will focus on developing, testing, networking and cyber security works related to EAPD, it said.
"We are pleased to expand our presence and investment in India with this state-of-the-art centre which will support our product development activities for customers locally and globally," the company's President (Rail Control Solutions Division) Peter Cedervall said today.

"Our goal is to grow the team significantly over the next two years and it reflects our commitment to develop local talent, also key to constantly innovate and improve our solutions," he added.
Bombardier is Delhi Metro's largest contractor for signalling and train control solutions with over 130km of line delivered or in progress.

The MNC has also contributed to traffic management systems for Western and Central Railways.
After more than five decades of investing in India, Bombardier employs around 1,200 people in the country.
Besides the Savli plant, the company has a propulsion systems manufacturing facility at Maneja on the outskirts of Vadodara, an RCS centre in Gurgaon and an engineering unit in Hyderabad.
