Procurement office for rail parts to open
Print Edition
DEUTSCHE Bahn will open a procurement bureau in Shanghai next week as it seeks to expand its range of international suppliers, it said yesterday.
The move will fuel competition for existing suppliers Alstom, Siemens and Bombardier, which command a large share of the German rail operator’s 10-billion-euro (US$10.7 billion) annual budget for upgrades.
“We are looking for suppliers worldwide,” said Deutsche Bahn’s procurement chief Uwe Guenther. “We expect that by 2017, Chinese companies will be in a position to take part in tenders for wheels or wheel sets.
“The purchase of trains is a possible distant option and a demanding challenge for Chinese companies,” he added.
European and US trainmakers compete with China’s CRRC Corp, the world’s biggest trainmaker by revenue, both in China and elsewhere.
