After winning two major double-deck contracts in France and Switzerland this year, the double-deck success story continues!"
Yossi Daskal, Chief Country Representative of Bombardier Transportation in Israel, added: "This additional contract once more demonstrates the trust that ISR has in Bombardier and we are proud to continue our successful business relationship with ISR. These extra coaches will extend the existing ISR fleet of Bombardier double-deck coaches and further contribute to reliable public transport offering in Israel." |
