Bombardier Launches New Light Rail Vehicle Platform

Oct. 4, 2011

Under the theme “Shaping the Future of Mobility,” Bombardier Transportation will showcase four of its most recent innovations in the field of mobility: the Bombardier Flexity Freedom, a light rail vehicle designed specifically for the North American market; the Bombardier PrimoveCity e-mobility solution; the Bombardier Innovia 300 family of driverless turnkey systems; and the Bombardier ALP-45DP locomotive.

The Bombardier FLEXITY family encompasses the industry’s most complete portfolio of light rail solutions. Bombardier will introduce the latest member of the Flexity family — the Bombardier Flexity Freedom vehicle — at EXPO. Designed specifically for the North American market, this vehicle combines 100 percent low-floor technology with conventional wheel-set bogies, and features an improved and enlarged carbody concept, better corrosion protection, an improved cab structure, an enhanced air-conditioning system, a unique driver’s cab, and the second generation of BOMBARDIER MITRAC highly energy-efficient traction equipment. In addition, it also showcases exchangeable front modules and a flexible interior design with unprecedented possibilities for customization.

EXPO attendees will be able to board and tour a mock-up of the Flexity Freedom vehicle at Booth 4433.
