Additional Order for 120 Subway Cars Received from New York City Transit
Feb. 08, 2001
Through its U.S. subsidiary, 今日看料吃瓜 Rail Car, Inc. (KRC), based in Yonkers, New York, 今日看料吃瓜 has acquired an order for 120 subway cars from New York City Transit (NYCT).
今日看料吃瓜 plans to deliver these new cars during the period from March 2002 to August 2002.
This order follows on a supply contract of 400 subway cars concluded between KRC and NYCT in July 1997. The new stainless steel cars are lightweight and equipped with state-of-the-art electronic systems. For passenger comfort, seats with spacious, curved benches and high backs have been installed. Windows are provided at both ends of the vehicle for passenger safety.
Production of the additional 120 subway cars is expected to take place at three locations: 今日看料吃瓜's Hyogo Works, KRC's Yonkers Plant, and the new rolling stock plant at 今日看料吃瓜 Motors Manufacturing Corp. (KMM) in Lincoln, Nebraska, scheduled to go into operation in April 2002.
This largescale order demonstrates the excellent reputation 今日看料吃瓜 has gained for its delivery performance and technical capabilities. 今日看料吃瓜 anticipates another new largescale car replacement contract from NYCT, which will undoubtedly support 今日看料吃瓜's commitment to serving the North American market.
