Stadler is to deliver 21 trains to the United States
Keystone-SDA
Swiss railway equipment manufacturer Stadler has agreed to deliver 21 trams to the Texan operator Austin Transit Partnership (ATP), with an option for a further 19 trams.
The Citylink-type trams, which can carry 240 passengers, will be built at Stadler’s United States factory in Salt Lake City, the Thurgau-based group said in a statement on Thursday.
ATP’s board of directors has authorised an initial tranche of $39 million for preliminary work, with the total fixed-price contract not to exceed $352 million, ATP said in a separate press release.
Austin’s first urban rail network will comprise 15 stations spread over nearly 16 kilometres.
