It'll fall onto Hyundai, who'll go after Columbus.They won't get anything from Columbus, who is pretty much sunk by this anyway. They were sunk before this, actually. This just will be the final nail. But, I have to wonder why on earth they went with such an obsolete design and technology (Cast trucks? Really?). I suspect it wasn't their choice, given they likely had an in-house design that could have worked. And, if there was external influence by SEPTA and or the state or feds, it could get messy. After all, Hyundai can just point back to SEPTA and say "We only used this component because you told us to, it's not our fault it didn't work". It'll all depend on what Hyundai proposed, how SEPTA and their consultant responded, and what happened after that. If at some point, SEPTA told Hyundai to use this vendor, and Hyundai said "We don't think it's a good idea, but ok...", you can bet those emails will be dug up and handed to Hyundai's legal department... |
