The New Generation Rollingstock is a class of electric multiple units being manufactured by Bombardier Transportation in Savli, India for Queensland Rail's City network division.
History
In January 2014, the Queensland Government awarded a contract for 75 six carriage electric multiple units to the Qtectic consortium of Bombardier Transportation, John Laing and Itochu under a 32-year public private partnership.[1][2][3]
The first was delivered in February 2016, with all to be in service by December 2018. They are being built in Savli, India.[4][5]
The design is based on the Adelaide Metro A-City Class 4000 Electric Multiple Units.[5] The trains will be maintained in a custom built depot in Wulkuraka.[6][7] The new trains will replace the Electric Multiple Unit and InterCity Express fleets and increase the size of the fleet by 30%. They will be used on all City network services.[4][8]
