Canada¥“s Bombardier bows out of Amtrak¥“s Acela procurement
TORONTO Mon Dec 8, 2014 12:52pm EST
(Reuters) - Canada¥“s Bombardier Inc said on Monday it is not bidding for the contract to replace Amtrak¥“s high-speed Acela, clearing the way for a rival to produce the next generation of the popular but sometimes troubled U.S. passenger trains.
A spokesperson for Hyundai Rotem said the Korean company had submitted a letter of intent to bid. Siemens AG declined to comment on whether it is bidding but a spokesman said it has great interest in the United States. It has a manufacturing facility in California.
State-backed China CNR Corp has teamed up with SunGroup USA to bid on a California high speed rail project. A SunGroup spokesman said the consortium is not bidding on Acela. CNR did not immediately respond to queries about whether it is bidding, and rival CSR Corp declined to comment.
==============================================
米東北部高速列車 Acela Express 代替列車入札はヒョンデロテム単独入札だと言う.
Bombardierと CNRは入札しない. Siemensの場合, 入札可否にノーコメントであるが, やっぱり入札放棄のようだ. これら企業等は Acela Express 代替列車入札をあきらめてカリフォルニア高速列車入札に集中するようだ.
現代だけ単独入札する理由は 2019年に規定されたサービス開始デッドラインのためだと言う. KTX-IIがアメリカの鉄道規格に一番近接したモデルだから最小の改造だけでもアメリカ Northeast Corridorに投入が可能だ. 他の業社の提案は 2019年サービス開始デッドラインを合わせることができない.

미 동북부 고속열차 Acela Express 대체열차 입찰은 현대로템 단독입찰이라고 한다.
Bombardier와 CNR은 입찰하지 않는다. Siemens의 경우, 입찰여부에 노코멘트 이나, 역시 입찰포기인것 같다. 이들 업체들은 Acela Express 대체열차 입찰을 포기하고 캘리포니아 고속열차 입찰에 집중하는 것 같다.
현대만 단독입찰하는 이유는 2019년으로 규정된 서비스 개시 데드라인 때문이라고 한다. KTX-II가 미국의 철도규격에 가장 근접한 모델이라 최소의 개조만으로도 미국 Northeast Corridor에 투입이 가능하다. 타 업체의 제안은 2019년 서비스 개시 데드라인을 맞출수 없다.
