Bombardier snags manufacturing gong

Rail technology manufacturer Bombardier Transportation has been recognised at the Victorian Manufacturing Hall of Fame Awards for its role as a key player in the state’s rail transport ecosystem.

Bombardier won the High Growth Sector: Transport Technologies Award at the ceremony on May 28, which is hosted each year by the Victorian minister for industry and employment.

“Bombardier is extremely honoured to have received such a prestigious award,” managing director of Bombardier Transportation Australia, Andrew Dudgeon said.

Dudgeons said the award reflects Bombardier’s commitment to the local construction and continued delivery of the trains and trams Victoria needs.

“These awards confirm the strength of our local manufacturing in Australia,” he added, “as well as our team’s commitment to providing seamless rail transportation for both customers and passengers.”

Bombardier continues to deliver its Flexity E-Class trams to Melbourne’s Yarra Trams network, as well as its VLocity diesel train for the state’s regional V/Line network. The company is also involved in the supply of signalling, rail equipment, asset management and maintenance.
