Faiveley Transport has won a series of important contracts for event recorders thanks to its reliable and adaptable solutions.

Faiveley Transport signed an agreement to acquire a controlling interest in Graham-White, a leading designer and manufacturer of compressed air drying technology and brake components for locomotives and rail transit markets.

Faiveley will equip a first order of 204 trams, with optional orders expected for a further 410 trams. This order is a major breakthrough reinforcing Faiveley's presence in the North American market.

Görlitz, now part of the Bombardier group, was a pioneer of double-deck trains in the 1950s. Many of these trains are still in use in Eastern Europe. That is the case in Rumania, where the national company CFR has launched an ambitious upgrade programme. In this project, Faiveley Transport has installed HVAC and CCTV systems for passenger comfort and security and replaced the braking systems in order to achieve 15% to 20% higher operating speeds. Through this contract, involving 140 carriages, Faiveley Transport is proving its capacity to carry out upgrades necessitating substantial engineering work and is placing itself in a good position for taking on other projects of this type.

Faiveley Transport Customer Services have signed with AAE in Switzerland a 5 years multi Million Euros contract for the overhaul of the Faiveley Transport brake systems for 4,400 freight wagons.

To highlight its intention to set itself apart in the fields of service quality and passenger safety, the city of Seville has decided to equip its metro line with platform doors. In this context, Faiveley was able to make all the difference, thanks to its reputation in the railway equipment field and its ability to provide a turnkey solution, overcoming the usual difficulties concerning interfacing between the trains and the platform door system (train-wayside communication).
