Except for Bombardier, Europe has conquered the electric traction market.Despite being a Canadian firm, BBD for all intents and purposes is a European player given the purchase of the AdTranz assets in 2001. I would also note that Japanese and Korean firms do have some influence in East Asian markets. One should note that Australia has some local railway manufacturing, but it does sometimes partner with foreign firms for manufacturing. The difference is that while Australian intercity service is a complete abortion, there's enough of a market for commuter rail trains to keep the factories interested in orders. Mind you, their firms are multi-service providers that also do fleet rehabilitation, freight locomotives, and other infrastructure services. One could argue that the key to having a successful railway firm is to be diversified into other sectors and have some cross utility that one can offer with products. |
