Bombardier Sifang Power Transportation Ltd.
In 2004 Bombardier Sifang Power Transportation Ltd. (BSP) received a contract from China’s Ministry of Railways (MOR) to supply 175 rail coaches for use on the new Qinghai-Tibet Railway. The extreme altitude, severe climate and delicate ecosystems on the Tibet-Plateau presented some challenges for passenger coach design. BSP produced a vehicle that responds to these special issues while ensuring cost efficiency and reliability in operation. Successful operation started in July 2006.
In that year Tangula placed an order for 49 luxury vehicles for three trains. Using the same basic technology BSP have taken everything one stage further, working together with interior designers and technology companies to bring to life a modern, luxurious, state of the art train.
Bombardier’s longstanding business relationship with China began 50 years ago. BSP is a joint venture between Bombardier and China South Locomotive and Rolling Stock Industry (Group) Corporation, a state-owned Chinese company formed to build rail rolling stock and equipment for the Chinese market. Including its joint ventures, Bombardier currently employs 2,500 people in China.
