TRANSPORT FOR NSW
Overview
The NSW Government has committed to commence procuring replacements for the Tangara fleet of suburban passenger trains by March 2027, with a 50% domestic manufacturing target to be included in the contract.
The replacement fleet will be the first in a long term pipeline of locally built trains that extends out to the 2050s. Through Tangara replacements and the long term fleet pipeline, the NSW Government wants to leave a strong community legacy of secure and skilled rail manufacturing jobs and apprenticeships in a revitalised NSW and Australian rail manufacturing industry.
Details
The 55 x 8-car Tangara sets entered service in 1988, and today represent about a quarter of Sydney Trains' suburban passenger fleet. Due to their age, Tangara are deteriorating and experiencing more faults and being taken out of service for repair more often, leading to a corresponding decrease in reliability across the suburban rail network and higher operating and maintenance costs.
The NSW Government has committed to commence procuring a replacement fleet for Tangara by 2027, with a 50% local content target in the contract and 30% local content tender evaluation criteria to capture how NSW-based businesses and jobs are engaged in designing, building, and maintaining the fleet.
NSW has one of the strongest rail manufacturing pipelines in Australia. Beyond Tangara, the Millenium and OScar fleets need replacing in the 2040s, and the Waratah's in the 2050s. Through Tangara and future fleet replacements, Transport for NSW and Sydney Trains are looking to establish a sustainable rolling stock manufacture pipeline and foster collaboration across the supply chain to unlock new opportunities for local rail manufacturing businesses.
Status of Project
Transport for NSW and Sydney Trains have commenced early project planning and development for the Tangara replacement fleet, including preparation of a business case, which will be supported by ongoing industry engagement over the next couple of years. Supply chain mapping from ICN Gateway data is also underway to understand the scale of the opportunity in the longer term fleet pipeline for rail manufacturers in NSW specifically, and across Australia and New Zealand more broadly.
In late 2023, Transport for NSW held its annual Industry Pipeline Event to provide industry with more information on the type of fleet product required as well as the timing and next steps to deliver the Tangara replacement project.
Domestic rail manufacturing businesses, particularly those based in NSW, are strongly encouraged to register with ICN so that Transport for NSW and Sydney Trains can continue engaging local industry during project development and in the lead up to the procurement process.
After registering with ICN, businesses may be contacted by Transport for NSW and Sydney Trains to participate in future engagement that will inform project design, as well as sessions to facilitate connections across the supply chain. Subject to a NSW Government investment decision on the replacement fleet expected in 2025-26, businesses registered with ICN may also be advised when the future procurement process commences.
