History

Bombardier Transportation was founded in 1974 and started manufacturing rolling stock with a contract from the STCUM (Montreal transport authority) to build metro trains for the Montréal Métro.
The original core of the Transportation group was formed with the purchase of Montreal Locomotive Works (MLW) in 1975. With that purchase Bombardier acquired MLW's LRC design. The group also purchased Hawker Siddeley Canada. MLW was later sold to General Electric in 1988.
Bombardier produced the LRC (Light, Rapid, Comfortable) tilting train in the 1980s.
In the late 1980s and 1990s, Bombardier Transportation enlarged its scope mainly in Europe with the acquisitions of BN Constructions Ferroviaires et Métalliques (with its principal site in Bruges, Belgium) [1989], ANF-Industries (with its principal site in Crespin, France) [1989], Procor Engineering Ltd. (with its principal site in Derby, UK) [1990], Waggonfabrik Talbot KG in Aachen, Germany [1995] and Deutsche Waggonbau AG (DWA) [1997]. The latter was an entity that encompassed the major portion of the railway equipment industry of the former German Democratic Republik ("Kombinat Schienenfahrzeugbau") with its principal sites in Görlitz and Bautzen (smaller sites included e.g. Vetschau and Niesky).
With its acquisition of the German company ADtranz from DaimlerChrysler in 2001, Bombardier Transportation became by many measurements the world’s largest rail equipment manufacturer. The addition of ADtranz also made Bombardier a manufacturer of locomotives along with its existing product lines of passenger carriages, multiple-unit trains, and trams. Additionally, the acquisition of ADtranz gained Bombardier competence in the components business, most notably for (electrical) propulsion.
