News: ONRIC Publish Rolling Stock Procurement Data
The National Rolling Stock Procurement Pipeline, developed by the Office of National Rail Industry Coordination (ONRIC), was published last week. As part of the broader Rail Procurement and Manufacturing Strategy, this initiative aims to enhance coordination, transparency, and efficiency in rail manufacturing and procurement across the nation. The pipeline offers insights into current and future rolling stock projects, covering procurement locations, estimated values, timelines, and types of rolling stock, including heavy rail, light rail, and metro vehicles.
The database is a preliminary step in providing detailed information to help the local supply chain plan for future rolling stock tenders. ONRIC's additional initiatives include developing a local supply chain mapping program and a national initiative to seek agreement on local content policies for Australia's railway sector. More details on these initatives can be found on the ONRIC website.
