Rail technology provider Bombardier has unveiled its new bogie technical centre in Siegen, Germany.
Bombardier's bogie technical centre will develop and test the company's FLEXX bogie portfolio, in order to cater to the customer requirements, including strict certification and homologation processes, according to Railway Technology.
The company's bogies business unit president Bart Vantorre said: "The centre is a perfect illustration of our brand promise and will develop the next generation of Bombardier FLEXX bogies.
"This test and validation centre allows us to respond to increasingly complex certification and homologation processes."
The Siegen site will house the company's bogies headquarters, as well as wheelset centre and a crash repair and overhaul facility, alongside the new centre of excellence and the existing final assembly area.
