Bombardier’s first Movia car, in the new high-technology fleet of metro cars, ordered by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) for its Phase II expansion, has arrived in India.
The first Movia train-set will commence track tests in March while the service introduction is scheduled for the second week in June 2009.
The first 36 vehicles for DMRC will be built in Goerlitz, Germany and the following 388 cars in Savli (Gujarat), India, where Bombardier has recently inaugurated a modern railway vehicle manufacturing facility.
With an investment valued at 33 million euros (Rs217 crore approx), this Greenfield facility will directly employ 750 people and indirectly generate approximately 3,000 jobs in the region.

The DMRC has ambitious targets to expand its metro service in time for the 2010 Commonwealth Games, where the environmentally friendly fleet of 424 Movia vehicles ordered to date will play a vital role in increasing sustainable mobility.
In phase II of the expansion of Delhi Metro, the modern Movia high-capacity vehicles will transport an estimated 4 million passengers every day.
The vehicles incorporate the Bombardier Mitrac Propulsion and Control system, featuring IP technology, a sophisticated passenger information system that includes predefined mess.
The vehicles are designed and constructed for optimum environmental operation.
