Bombardier unveils a new test centre at its site in Bautzen, Saxony - Seite 2

Around 3,500 cubic metres of concrete and 650 tons of steel were used for the 6,590 square metre building. Additionally, 50 kilometres of electrical wiring were laid and more than 900 lamps were installed. The high-tech centre also includes a waterproof testing system, which automatically adapts to the shape of the carbody, and a corner load measurement with a combined four-axle wheel load scale, a test track for test runs and a separate customer acceptance hall.

Around 30 million euro was invested to upgrade the Bautzen site for digital Industry 4.0 production and manufacturing standardization. This created a central serial production site with a high production capacity. The largest investments include a new production hall and a test centre. Bombardier employs around 1100 people in Bautzen.
