advertisement
The Belgian National Railways (SNCB) recently ordered an additional 90 M6 double-deck coaches from a Bombardier Transportation/ALSTOM Transport consortium.

SNCB is exercising an option on a 1999 contract for 210 double-deck cars. In 2004, the agency ordered an additional 70 cars from Bombardier and ALSTOM.

Under its $108 million portion of the $199 million contract, Bombardier will build 18 control cars, assemble 72 trailer cars and manufacture bogies.

The vehicles will be delivered between January 2008 and April 2009.
