First Metro train arrives in Sydney from India

[TruthTheOnlyDefense]

"The metro train is assembled in Sri City near Chennai. It is the first driverless metro train. Six carriages will be shipped to Sydney. The final fitout will take place at a maintenance depot at Rouse Hill.

Transport Minister Andrew Constance said, according to the Sydney Morning Herald, that people living in Sydney’s northwest would get a train every four minutes during peak periods in each direction, once the line opens up in 2019.

The metro coaches are built by the Alstom at its Sri City manufacturing facility, near Tada on Tamil Nadu-Andhra Pradesh border. A total of 22 trains consisting six coaches each are to be shipped to Sydney. The company is responsible for the project management, design, supply, manufacturing, testing and commissioning of the rolling stock and signalling systems in Sydney."

Alstom Spanish company don't think it would be designed by India, have you seen some of the trains made by India? Some of the trains designed by India are ok but not world class.

I do not think, it is designed in India rather it might be manufactured in India and shipped to Australia.

Yes that's the impression I get as well.

This is real MADE IN INDIA not MADE IN MOUTH ,Congratulation

Alstom India has one of the biggest designing centers for the Alstom group.

Normally final assembly happens in cheap third world countries. Alstom had been milking the Indian market for decades, this is a small pay back to India by doing low level assembly in India, key components are all from Europe. Typical European modus operandi.

'Engineering' has alot of meaning, it could be someone drawing autocad drawings or designing advanced technolgies. Which do you think India is doing?

I understand....China has better experience than us in doing assembly and manufacturing many items that are expensive to be manufactured in Western countries but cheap in China..

Exactly my point, design outlook, colors, shape, some simple metal work. The drive systems, the advanced components, the control system? Do you know what Siemens China did before we created our own HSR? exactly the same low end stuff. Don't be naive.

So next time when you say anything about China designing anything it will mean just painted the panels.. I will remember that.... Did you even read the part that says... Research and design facility India India... LOL
Wait... you have got that "India Poor... India Cheap glasses" on... now I get it.

Did you bother you actually read the links the member posted or you just want to trolll for fun!?

 

[Dungeness]

Nevertheless, it is something worth compliment under "Make in India". Congratulations, India!

Well it's up to you to believe you are not doing low level assembly with some 'design' work. The truth is these are matured products with advanced technologies retained in Europe. The only way to reach parity is to do it yourself like Japan and China. Else, you are just another dependent on European key components. Early days Alstom also had 'R&D' and still has manufacturing facility (jv as stipulated by Chinese law for technology transfer) in China.

From being a market, we are now a competitor because we own our own technologies not merely aseembling and doing 'R&D' for others.

Alstom, I remember we used to do the same low level assembly work from Alstom Qingdao until we became their biggest competitor. Those key components like IGBT were all delivered from France. Otherwise, it's just a big metal box with paint.

A world class train is something that Sydney will never get. The trains here are god awful, I would rather try Indian trains just to see if they can do better.
