CA HSR cuts train order in half — rolling stock contract reduced
Linked Projects
Summary
The California High-Speed Rail Authority has cut its train order in half, indicating a significant reduction in rolling stock procurement scope. This is likely a cost-reduction measure tied to the funding shortfall identified by the Inspector General.
Details
Rolling stock suppliers, subcontractors, and systems integrators tied to the original train order should expect contract modifications, and competitors may see reduced opportunity in this segment as program scope contracts.
Reduced capital outflow for rolling stock; supplier contracts and supply chain commitments associated with the original order are now at risk of reduction or cancellation
