Revision of drive unit Flirt3 and Traverso 2026-2029
About This Opportunity
TranslatedThis tender concerns the upcoming revision of drive units for the FLIRT3 and Traverso train types operated by SOB (Südostbahn). These revisions are scheduled to take place between 2026 and 2029, following the manufacturer's specified maintenance schedule for the drive units. Due to SOB's existing infrastructure, certain parts of this revision process will be outsourced to external suppliers. Specifically, this tender focuses on the drive units of the powered bogies. Bidders are required to ensure that the existing characteristics and specifications of these drive units are maintained and fully incorporated into the revised units. This implies a need for suppliers to possess the technical expertise and capabilities to work with these specific components while adhering to the original performance standards. The scope of work will involve detailed inspection, repair, and potentially refurbishment of the drive units to ensure their continued reliable operation for the specified period. Interested parties should be prepared to demonstrate their experience with similar rolling stock components and their capacity to meet the stringent quality and performance requirements set forth by SOB.
This is a services contract in the transport and logistics and architecture and engineering sectors, with a focus on Rail Transport and Mechanical Engineering. Located in Switzerland, Europe, this opportunity is open to firms and consortiums.
