HISTORY

Bombardier Transportation was founded in 1974 and started manufacturing rolling stock with a contract from the Société De Transport De La Communauté Urbaine De Montréal to build metro trains for the Montréal Métro .

The core of the Transportation group was formed with the purchase of Montreal Locomotive Works (MLW) in 1975 . The group also purchased Hawker Siddeley Canada . MLW was later sold to General Electric in 1988 .

Bombardier produced the LRC (Light, Rapid, Comfortable) Tilting Train in the 1980s .

With its acquisition of the German company Adtranz from DaimlerChrysler in 2001 , Bombardier Transportation became by many measurements the world’s largest rail equipment manufacturer. The addition of Adtranz also made Bombardier a manufacturer of Locomotive s along with its existing product lines of Passenger Carriage s, Multiple-unit trains, and Tram s.
