21 December 2023 – Alstom,
global leader in smart and sustainable mobility, has been announced
as the successful bidder for a contract worth around 900 million
euro to maintain the regional rolling stock VLocity and Classic
fleets in Victoria, Australia for the next decade.
The VLocity train
fleet, which is built by Alstom at its Dandenong manufacturing site
in Melbourne, Australia will be maintained alongside the Classic
fleet out of West Melbourne, South Dynon and Ballarat East sites
securing hundreds of Victorian jobs for the next decade.
“Our association with VLocity goes back to 2003.
On the twentieth year of that association, I am humbled by the
trust placed in us by the Victorian Government to continue the
privilege of servicing VLocity trains for the next decade,” said
Pascal Dupond, Alstom’s Managing Director, Australia and New
Zealand.
The award of the contract to Alstom locks in a
number of benefits for the local economy. This includes 98% of
labour based in Victoria servicing the VLocity and Classic fleet
with 69% of maintenance materials supplied by local Victorian
suppliers. Alstom have also committed to a 6% spend with 40 local
social benefit suppliers over the life of the contract.
“We will establish a fleet control centre in
South Dynon, based on Alstom’s UK Voyager Control Centre which will
further improve reliability and availability of the fleet. Local
suppliers across Victoria will also play an important part in
supplying parts, overhauls, repairs, preventative maintenance and
wheel turning; the impact to the rail supply chain in Victoria will
be profound”, Mr Dupond added.
Additional predictive maintenance technology
that Alstom will bring to the contract will also result in a
reduction of fuel costs and carbon emissions from the VLocity and
Classic Fleet.
“VLocity is without doubt a jewel in the crown
of Victoria’s rail fleet. The technology, local knowhow, innovation
and excellence that Alstom brings will enable the VLocity and
Classic fleet to shine and continue to serve Victoria’s regions
throughout this decade and into the next,” Mr Dupond concluded.
