If you saw the Denver order the unit cost for SL-V's almost DOUBLED. SEPTA got a sweetheart deal for taking on the risk of using a first time supplier like Rotem. Not only was the unit cost low, Rotem built their factory in South Philly. Today, with additional SL-Vs selling for full price, using existing production lines offer the best value.My assertion was that rebuilding the ALP-44's and using NJT Comet III coaches was probably the best value of all. |
