Introduction to Bombardier China

Transportation is an industry that depends heavily on both technology and capital. Bombardier has won market share in China with its advanced technologies. Despite its late entrance, the company has established a large production network in China, helping the company maintain close operations with Chinese clients.

Bombardier is a Canadian manufacturer of transportation vehicles, headquartered in Montreal, Canada. It provides innovative transportation solutions, including regional aircrafts, business and commercial aircrafts, and rail vehicles.

Since its entrance into China in the late 90s, it has been the major provider for regional aircrafts in Chinese mainland. Bombardier Business Aircraft also provides business and commercial aircraft services such as the Challenger 604 business jet. Bombardier's joint venture Sifang Power (Qingdao) Transportation (BSP) produces high-speed passenger trains for Chinese mainland market. More than 80 percent of carriages of non-stop high-speed trains in operation are provided by BSP. BSP will also provide 361 trains which can run on plateaus. Bombardier’s other joint ventures in China have multiple businesses, producing locomotives, tractors, and subway carriages for major cities. “China is a long-term strategic partner with Bombardier, no matter in aerospace or rail transportation,” said Zhang Jianwei.
