en.Wedoany.com Reported - Recently, the Bursa Metropolitan Municipality in Turkey completed the procurement tender for 20 light rail vehicles. CRRC Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Co., Ltd. won the bid with a quotation of 2.84 billion Turkish Lira (approximately 62.76 million USD). Two companies participated in this tender, and CRRC Zhuzhou Locomotive defeated the local Turkish manufacturer Bozankaya to become the preferred bidder. The formal contract is expected to be signed after the completion of legal procedures.

The total investment budget for the Bursa light rail project in Turkey is approximately 4.1 billion lira. The 20 newly purchased light rail vehicles will be put into operation on the BursaRay light rail system, directly enhancing the line's transport capacity and train frequency, thereby alleviating passenger flow pressure during peak hours. Local authorities stated that the project's implementation will optimize passenger comfort and enhance the overall operational efficiency of the city's public transportation system.

The BursaRay light rail system was originally opened in 2002, comprising two lines: Line 1 and Line 2. The existing light rail vehicles were supplied by Siemens Mobility, Bombardier (now part of Alstom), and Turkey's Durmazlar. This new purchase of light rail vehicles will further strengthen the line's transport equipment.

CRRC Zhuzhou Locomotive has been deeply engaged in the Turkish market for many years. Since first entering the Turkish market in 2009, the company has successively won multiple rail transit projects, including the Izmir Light Rail, Ankara Metro, and Istanbul Airport Line Metro. In 2013, CRRC Zhuzhou Locomotive established a joint venture with the local Turkish enterprise MNG Group, achieving a transformation from product export to technical cooperation and localized manufacturing.
