Bane NOR has chosen Thales as supplier of TMS, Alstom as supplier of onboard equipment and Siemens as supplier of trackside.
After seven years of extensive cooperation with Bombardier Transportation on the ERTMS Experience Line Østfoldbanen Østre lin (ØØL) and 2 years of participation in Bombardier’s tender team for tenders for National Implementation of ERTMS, it did not go our way this time.
We congratulate Thales, Alstom and Siemens with the new big assignments and look forward to opportunities this can also provide for ProRail AS in the future!
