Bombardier-Alstom-Indra Consortium Wins High-Speed Rail Control Contract

A consortium between Bombardier, Alstom and Indra has won the contract to supply signalling systems and maintenance services for the new high-speed section of the Madrid-Lisbon railway corridor in Spain’s Extremadura region.

The project, awarded by Spain’s Administrator of Railway Infrastructure (ADIF) has a total value of approximately €164 million. Bombardier’s share is valued at approximately €77 million euro; Alstom’s share is valued at approximately €62 million; and Indra’s share is approximately €25 million.

The Bombardier-led consortium will deliver the design, procurement, installation, testing and commissioning of the signalling and communication systems. This includes installing a European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) Level 2 on the 164 km Plasencia-Cáceres and Cáceres-Badajoz sections of the line. The project also includes a 20 year maintenance regime to commence at the end of phase one of the signalling system delivery.
