“We won the RON200 million tender in Arad to deliver 25 streetcars in 48 months. The first streetcar should be delivered within nine months of the signing of the contract,” Gheorghe Sirbu, general manager of Astra Vagoane Calatori, told ZF.
“In January we delivered four streetcars to Bucharest and this year we have to deliver a total of 48 streetcars to Bucharest alone, but we still have to assemble two streetcars for Braila and other places where we have ongoing contracts.”
The Arad plant is one of the biggest in the local rolling stock market, with more than 400 employees.
