Loram unveils ballast cleaner

摘要

Lor am displayed the first of 11 high-performance shoulder ballast cleaners being supplied to China at the Railway Interchange exhibition in Minneapolis in September. The value of the $US 50m contract is divided equally between Loram and its new Chinese joint venture partner. "There will be a phased transfer of construction to China as part of a 10-year project," Mr Joe Carlin, Loram's vice-president, OEM operations, told IRJ at Railway Interchange. "This is our first stint at co-production with a Chinese partner. We plan a similar venture in India - we already produce machines in India with a small local content, but under the new deal the proportion of Indian content will increase."
