The order includes the planning, delivery and realization of the safety technology for several planned expansion sections, it said. The total volume amounts to around 50 million euros.
The contractual scope of services initially relates to the first expansion stage. Further sections have been agreed as options. Production at the Stadler plant in Braunschweig, Germany, is expected to begin on September 1.
According to the press release, Stadler has been working with Bybanen Utbygging since 2007. At that time, the Swiss train manufacturer supplied twelve Variobahn streetcars for the Bergen tram project. From 2008, Stadler Signalling was responsible for the vehicle equipment on several sections of the line, and from the second construction phase onwards for the entire signaling technology.
