 Bombardier Transportation, Berlin-based subsidiary of the Canadian group Bombardier, announced that its Chinese joint venture, Bombardier Sifang (Qingdao) Transportation Ltd. (BST), has been awarded a contract from China State Railway Group Co., Ltd. to supply 160 CR400AF cars, a new Chinese standard high-speed train car for China’s evolving high-speed rail network.
 

 
The 160 cars will be configured into ten 16-car trainsets with an operating speed of 350 km/h. The total contract, signed on December 31, 2019, is valued at approximately 2.97 billion CNY ($427 million US, 380 million euro). Bombardier Transportation owns 50 per cent of the shares in BST, which is consolidated by Bombardier Transportation’s partner CRRC Sifang Rolling Stock Co., Ltd.
 
Jianwei Zhang, President, Bombardier Transportation China, said:“We are very proud to have been chosen to supply the new generation of CR400AF cars, a high-speed railway car, through our BST joint venture. China’s high-speed rail industry has become one of the nation’s economic pillar industries and the high-speed network has brought greater mobility and prosperity to the public. Bombardier is proud of its contributions to China’s rail industry and looks forward to delivering more of the high-quality products that are helping China meet its ambitious long-term mobility goals.”
 
In 2018, BST won two contracts to build a total of 288 CR400AF cars and every car was delivered on-time and on quality. This latest contract is BST’s third and reflects the trust that China Railway has in BST's efficiency, reliability and competitive edge, according to the company. All 160 cars will be delivered by mid-2020.
