Bombardier Transportation

The leader in the rail equipment manufacturing and servicing industry has delivered close to 7,000 vehicles across North America.

Bombardier’s cars are manufactured in Ontario, Quebec, the U.S. and Mexico, and must be delivered to their clients within predetermined deadlines. The manufacturing and multimodal (truck and train) delivery strategy is dependent on customer proximity and requirements, as well as on the ability to deliver within set deadlines and budgets.

Accordingly, Bombardier Transportation recommends orientations to be examined within the framework of the Continental Gateway. Among others, Bombardier Transportation is hoping for a finalized harmonization of interprovincial road transportation regulations (load, size) to reduce transportation costs. In the same manner, the rail equipment manufacturer believes that a developed rail line network specifically for transporting goods could increase flexibility and reduce delivery times. An incentives program for railway shippers could provide quality service to companies that have low volumes or non-standard export goods. Finally, Bombardier Transportation is promoting environmental protection by providing alternative means of transportation that reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

A more efficient trade corridor will enable Bombardier Transportation to better meet the challenges of the new reality, in which equipment manufacturing and delivery deadlines are increasingly tight.
