Bombardier further penal payment threatens because of Pannenzug

Nausea in passengers, problems with the technology, broken rides – and after a year-long delay: The new SBB double-Decker train FV-Dosto lay truly a dream start. This makes for a bad atmosphere between the Federal Railways and the manufacturer Bombardier.

In a communication, the SBB Bombardier sharply criticized. The problems with the new train will not be "acceptable". In an Interview with the Newspapers of CH Media, Bombardier-Switzerland-in-chief Stéphane Wettstein defended himself: The problems were not serious and soon, from the table. Also penalty payments to the SBB were not an issue. "First, a contractual damages would have to arise. This is not the case."

In the case of the SBB the not so. In major points, the Situation was clear: "The responsibility lies with the suppliers," said SBB CEO Andreas Meyer in an Interview with the "Switzerland on the weekend". You have concluded with Bombardier, a "tough contract with penalty payments". According to the Offer documents, the group must pay for each a week late train, a penalty of 0.5% of the unit price. This should be so stated in the purchase contract, you would be a payment of 460 million Swiss francs.

Bombardier will not be ready to take on the complete responsibility.

Threaten to Bombardier so high in cost? SBB spokesman Christian Ginsig stresses that Bombardier will deliver, instead of the originally ordered 59 now 62 trains per day travelling as well as spare parts to the SBB at the originally agreed price of 1.9 billion Swiss francs for the 59 trains per day travelling. The three free-of-charge share trains with a replacement value of approximately 100 million Swiss francs. The can also be than buses interpret.

But now, more penalty payments may become Bombardier. First, it go about to ensure stable operation, so Ginsig. "The first priority for the customers." But the SBB spokesman says: "Financial issues can be discussed upstream with the manufacturer if the additional expenses of the SBB are known." They are going to clarify – as it was in the case of contractual arrangements customary in the legal framework.

Bombardier is not going to be ready to take on the complete responsibility. The manufacturer stressed before, that new change requests of the SBB have also contributed to the delay. SBB-Chef Meyer referred to this as a "completely normal". Experts in the matter. "If the change does not or only difficult to implement, wishes, it is on the manufacturer to say no", it means in the industry. Bombardier have, however, appears to be always, even when it came to difficulties. (Sunday newspaper)
