Funkwerk AG announced that it has secured a further contract from Bombardier Transportation. The contract involves the supply of audio systems for equipment of altogether 60 multiple unit trains operating in the Hamburg suburban railway system. The ambitious project, which is to be completed by the end of 2018, was commenced without delay.

The electro acoustic system from Funkwerk is already in use and successful in suburban trains also supplied by Bombardier in Stuttgart and Frankfurt, enabling the new project to be implemented promptly. Use of standardised hardware and software components further allows significant synergies to be realised such as in spares pooling and through know how transfer.
