The Basque company explained that this is a new project for Auckland Transport, following the contract awarded to the CAF Group in 2011 for the supply of 57 electrical units and their maintenance for a period of 12 years.
CAF has signed a contract for the supply of 23 new electrical units for the city of Auckland, in New Zealand. The amount of the contract amounts to more than 130 million euros, and also covers the maintenance of the vehicles until the end of 2025, also contemplating the possible extension of the same in five additional units.
The Basque company has explained that it is a new project to Auckland Transport, after the contract awarded to the CAF Group in 2011 for the supply of 57 electrical units and their maintenance for a period of 12 years. Subsequently, 15 more units were purchased in 2017. The 72 units delivered are currently serving in Auckland.
The new units will be similar to the 72 previously supplied to this same client, and will be made up of three cars each one, two extreme power cars with cabin and a trailer intermediate car. The unit has a total capacity of 380 passengers.
The Beasain-based company has highlighted that this contract consolidates CAF’s presence in the region since, in addition to the contracts for Auckland Transport, the company has been awarded a significant number of projects in Australia in recent years since its creation there of its subsidiary in 2010.
