Bombardier could invest in Turkey’s high-speed rail network construction projects, according to Bombardier head Laurent Troger, quoted by Anadolu Agency in Berlin. As Turkey invests in a high-speed railway network to connect the Turkish capital Ankara with other provinces, Bombardier could participate by investing in a manufacturing plant and maintenance center in the country, Troger said.
“The modernization process is proceeding very fast and the government’s commitment of $45 billion investment to the railway sector boosts this importance to further levels,” said Troger. According to him, if the company wins one of the local high-speed train tenders, a technology transfer to Turkey will take place.
Bombardier is also interested in boosting cooperation with local companies for high-speed train systems. “Turkey is one of the most important rail markets in the world. We want to produce high-speed train systems in Turkey with a strong partner,” he said.
