Spain's ADIF has awarded a new Euro 339m European rail traffic management system (ERTMS) Level 2 high-speed rail contract to a consortium consisting of Alstom, Bombardier and Indra, according to Railway Technology.
As part of the contract, the consortium will install ETCS Level 2 signalling on two high-speed lines in north-west Spain.
Bombardier's share is valued at approximately $195m and the project will implement its globally proven radio-based INTERFLO 450 ERTMS Level 2 system. The company will also supply fixed communications, CCTV and GSM-R technology.
Bombardier rail control solutions president Peter Cedervall said: "This new contract marks Bombardier's entry into the ERTMS Level 2 market in Spain and adds an excellent high-speed project reference to our global portfolio.
"It is a major milestone for our presence in both the Spanish market and the European Union as a whole. We look forward to implementing our technology and delivering a successful system to ADIF, together with our partners Alstom and Indra."
The INTERFLO 450 ERTMS Level 2 system features the latest version of the Bombardier EBI Com radio block centre and EBI link balise technology, as well as the advanced EBI Lock 950 computer-based interlocking and EBI track train detection systems.
Work on the contract will be delivered in 24 months and includes a 20-year maintenance period, in addition to a two-year warranty.
