A reflection on Bombardier transportation history and how the organisation is striving to develop sustainable mobility solutions
F
ounded in 1942, Bombardier Transportation has 78 years of history in the rail and sustainable mobility industry. With a belief that
in today’s world it is “essential to offer high-quality, sustainable, safe and comfortable public transpor04
tation solutions to meet the capacity challenge,” Bombardier Transportation has more than 100,000 trains operating daily, that it is constantly investing into to drive sustainable mobility and the adoption of digital technologies. Bombardier Transportation provides integrated solutions to provide substantial benefits and safety for operators, passengers and the environment, digital technologies the company is harnessing include driver assistance safety systems, alternative propulsion, predictive maintenance and high-performance signalling technology. Operating in 200 cities in 60 countries, Bombardier Transportation’s vision is to move “people and goods in and between cities: safely, reliably and comfortably”. The company is committed to developing

Bombardier Transportation’s six smart sustainable mobility solutions “At Bombardier Transportation, we’re tackling these challenges head on. Our smart mobility solutions combine energy-conserving technology with optimal safety, reliability and cost efficiency”
08
1. Converting to full batterypowered mobility
2. Fast construction with minimal environmental impact
With increasing numbers of railway companies and governments seeking clean alternatives to diesel. Bombardier Transportation provides its customers with battery technology for electromobility that can be used on nonelectrified lines. Currently the company is striving to eliminate diesel power on France’s rail network by converting its regional fleet into an eco-friendly battery propulsion operation.
Ensuring fast construction and minimal environmental impact, Bombardier Transformation’s driverless INNOVIA monorail system is equipped with technology for carbon neutral, emissionfree operations. The system is designed with urban application in mind to drive efficient and cost effective mass transit.
“Our most recent battery project is the TALENT 3 battery-electric multiple unit (BEMU), the first modern regional battery-powered train to enter passenger service in Europe. The battery train is emission-free and sets the standards for smart mobility, with a highly efficient propulsion system and a high degree of recyclability.”
3. Reduce energy consumption by up to 15% with optimised driving In addition to its battery power technology to drive eco-friendly energy, Bombardier Transportation’s EBI Drive 50 technology is designed to help vehicle drivers conserve energy by helping to optimise their driving. “The system dynamically calculates track topography and vehicle performance and compares it with the train’s route and position,”
4. Reduce your vehicle’s weight “Safety, efficiency and flexibility are guiding principles in Bombardier’s product development,” comments Bombardier Transportation, with this vision driving its innovation, Bombardier Transportation helps its customers to reduce their vehicle weight with its ‘lightweight FLEXX Eco bogie’. The technology is said to ensure smooth and safe journeys for travelers in cities, due to its specific design features. 5. Automated vehicle inspection system for sustainable performance To provide its customers with a solution to improve efficiency and operation by forecasting key components and alerting to maintenance needs before they arise, Bombardier Transportation has developed an Automated Vehicle Inspection System (AVIS) to combat these challenges.
6. Reduce your energy consumption by to 35% with silicon carbide converters Striving to continuously innovate in the sustainable mobility industry, Bombardier Transportation’s latest energy saving technology enables its customers to further advance their sustainable urban transit systems with lower energy consumption and noise levels. “We are very proud of the great strides we are making in reducing energy consumption and are thankful for the strong collaboration with our partners that made this achievement possible. It’s not only evidence of our deep local engagement in Sweden, but it also illustrates how Bombardier Transportation is committed to innovating a greener and more sustainable transportation systems.”
Integrating proven optical image and laser technology to capture key asset conditions with ORBITA, “Bombardier’s state of the art predictive asset management toolset, and the depot’s maintenance management system to deliver seamless automated, intelligent maintenance instructions to a technician.” www.ra i l .bo mba rdier . com

“ We are very proud of the great strides we are making in reducing energy consumption” — Bombardier Transportation
SUSTAINABILITY IN MOBILITY In 2009, Bombardier Transportation launched its ‘Climate is Right for Trains’ initiative. The initiative was launched with ambitions to reinforce the advantages of low-emission rail transport. ”Today, this declaration is truer than ever,” notes Bombardier Transportation. “It’s no www.ra i l .bo mba rdier . com

secret that the world is undergoing a period of dramatic change. Population is booming and it’s estimated that by 2050 the planet will be supporting 9.8 billion people. At the same time, demographic shifts mean that over half of them will be gravitating to urban spaces with projections showing that by 2030 there will be 43 global megacities of over 10 million inhabitants each. This is all occurring in a context of dwindling resources and environmental uncertainty.” To address these global challenges, Bombardier Transportation alongside its initiative ‘the Climate is Right for Trains’ not only deliver holistic solutions to combat these challenges, they are committed to continuous development of eco friendly mobility solutions that drive opportunities and prosperity, as well as driving the planet towards a sustainable future.
