Siemens Mobility Association will supply 12 hydrogen fuel cell electric trains to the Romanian Railway Reform Authority (RRA), fulfilling a repeatedly cancelled $373m tender.

The German technology conglomerate, which was the sole bidder, was granted the tender to deploy the trains across Romania.

The award follows the successful completion of financial and technical evaluations by the RRA and the approval of the country’s National Authority for Public Procurement.

Siemens will also provide maintenance support for 30 years, with a potential 30-year extension subject to a review clause in the contract.
