2015 will be a milestone year for Bombardier, who’s Signalling Division (RCS) is celebrating its 100th Anniversary year, which marks a century of leadership in rail safety and control. This centenary year reflects the date of the inauguration of the Ericsson Railway Technical Department in Sweden, on March 31, 1915, to support the local requirements of the Swedish network for railway safety equipment including electrical interlocking. The department was an important forerunner of the business we have today in Sweden and, as part of the pioneering Swedish Rail industry, was at the very core of the development of the rail signalling industry, which now spans the globe.
Throughout 2015, Bombardier will celebrate various activities and campaigns to mark this occasion with its customers.
