川崎轨道车辆制造公司（川崎重工全资子公司）于10月27日宣布，其位于纽约州扬克斯的美国子公司川崎轨道车辆公司（KRC）将从大都会运输署（MTA）所属的纽约交通局获得640辆额外的新一代R211系地铁车辆订单。该订单价值约17亿美元。

川崎公司将在其位于内布拉斯加州林肯市和纽约州扬克斯市的工厂生产R211地铁车。制造车体和内部设安装将在位于2001年建立的最先进的林肯工厂进行，而总装和功能测试将在林肯工厂和1989年在纽约扬克斯设立的工厂进行。这些车辆计划于2025年至2026年交付给纽约地铁系统。

这份订单是在2018年获得的535辆地铁车的基础订单之外的增购，使得R211系地铁车的订购总量达到1175辆。目前，合同累计总额已经增长到32亿美元。

除了本次的增购合同，合同还包括一个额外的选项，纽约交通局可在本框架内最多再增购437辆车，使车辆总数达到1612辆，合同总价值约为41亿美元。如果所有增购选项都被执行，R211合同将是川崎公司有史以来获得的最大的轨道交通车辆合同。

自1982年收到R62地铁车辆的最初订单以来，川崎公司已成功向纽约交通局交付了2200多辆车。R211地铁车辆计划取代纽约地铁的R46车辆和斯塔滕岛铁路的车队。

引进R211地铁车是纽约交通局努力实现现代化和改善服务和可靠性的一部分。这些车厢将配备安全摄像头、LED照明、数字显示器和更宽的车门，使乘客能够更顺利地进出列车，从而减少列车在车站的停留时间。

New York City Transit Places Orders for 640 Additional Subway Cars

Oct. 27, 2022

Kawasaki Rail Car Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (wholly-owned subsidiary of Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd.) announced today that Kawasaki Rail Car, Inc. (KRC), its U.S. subsidiary based in Yonkers, New York, will receive an order for 640 additional new generation subway cars, known as the R211 series, from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s (MTA) New York City Transit (NYCT *1). The order is worth approximately $1.7 billion (258 billion Japanese yen).

Kawasaki will manufacture the R211 subway cars at its facilities in Lincoln, Nebraska (Kawasaki Motors Manufacturing Corp., U.S.A.) and Yonkers, New York. The state-of-the-art Lincoln facility, established in 2001, will manufacture the car body structure and install interior equipment, while final assembly and function testing will be performed at the Lincoln Facility and the Yonkers Facility, established in 1989, in Yonkers, New York. The cars are scheduled to be delivered to NYCT from 2025 through 2026.

This order is in addition to the base order of 535 cars awarded in 2018, bringing the total number of R211 cars ordered to 1,175. The cumulative total of the contract value has now grown to $3.2 billion (467 billion Japanese yen).

In addition to this option contract, the contract also includes an additional option for up to 437 cars that NYCT may exercise bringing the total number of the cars to 1,612, with a total contract value of approximately $4.1 billion (597 billion Japanese yen). In the event all options are exercised, the R211 contract would be the largest rail car contract ever awarded to Kawasaki.

Kawasaki has successfully delivered over 2,200 cars to NYCT since receiving its initial order in 1982 for the R62 subway cars. The R211 subway cars are scheduled to replace NYCT’s R46 cars and Staten Island Railway’s fleet.

The R211 cars are being introduced as a part of NYCT’s efforts to modernize and improve reliability and service to NYCT’s customers. The cars will be equipped with security cameras, LED lighting, digital displays and wider doors, enabling passengers to enter and exit the trains more smoothly, thus reducing the time trains sit at the station.

Kawasaki has gained credibility through its past project performance, high technology and vehicle reliability, which all contributed to the successful award of the additional R211 cars.

Kawasaki will continue to build its credibility with its technological expertise by providing environmentally friendly modes of transportation to the United States and markets around the world.
