Ferrotramviaria, an operator of transport services in the
Italian province of Bari, has exercised an option to order two
additional
CORADIA
trains for 8.7 million euros. The options are from a contract
signed in 2001 for four of the same trains.
ALSTOM’s facilities in Savigliano will manufacture the
bogies, and Colleferro will manufacture the body shells and
assemble the trains. ALSTOM’s Charleroi, Belgium, site will
be responsible for the electrical equipment.
The first four trains are scheduled to be delivered by July
2004, with the last two to be delivered by February 2005.
