Bombardier expects more orders after China train safety clearance
Beijing
CANADA'S Bombardier Inc expects to receive safety certification from China for its high-speed trains as early as next month, providing a springboard for more orders, the firm's top executive in the country said.
The regulatory clearance, after years of tests, means Bombardier will be able to begin delivering 80 of its CRH380D trains first ordered in 2009, worth an estimated US$2 billion to the Canadian firm. China tightened rail safety rules after 35 people died in a train crash in 2011 near the city of Wenzhou.
