A new batch of VLocity trains has been ordered to meet growing demand for regional rail services – and they’ll be built right here in Dandenong.
Bombardier will build the next six VLocity trains, supporting 100 direct jobs and hundreds more throughout the supply chain.The new trains are part of the $340 million in funding from the Victorian Budget 2019/20 to purchase up to 18 new three-carriage trains.
The new VLocity trains will include the latest technology including accessibility improvements and mobile phone signal boosting technology.
Bombardier is expected to begin building the new trains next year, before they are delivered to the network in 2021.
