United Group Rail - Passenger Rolling Stock, Locomotives and Freight Vehicles

United Group Rail specialises in the provision of end-to-end rail technology solutions for customers in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and other parts of Asia. The company is the largest capacity supplier of rail technology in the region.

LOCOMOTIVES, ROLLING STOCK, LIGHT-RAIL VEHICLES AND RAIL INFRASTRUCTURE

United Group Rail specialises in designing, building and maintaining state-of-the-art locomotives, passenger and freight rolling stock, light-rail vehicles, and rail communications, signalling and specialist rail infrastructure. It also provides maintenance, spare parts and other whole-life asset management services to a wide variety of public and private-sector enterprises covering both freight and passenger rolling-stock and infrastructure.

With a workforce of over 3,000 people, United Group Rail has emerged as one of Australasia's most successful rail technology providers. Integral to this success is the provision of both 'above' and 'below' rail solutions combined with the input of global technology partners such as ALSTOM, GE Transportation, Mitsubishi Electric and Standard Car Truck (SCT), to name but a few.

ROLLING STOCK MAINTENANCE AND SIGNALLING EXPERTISE

Historically, United Group's business combines the strength and experience of two of the rail industry's leading service providers, namely United Goninan and ALSTOM Australia and New Zealand.

United Goninan have designed manufactured and maintained rail rolling-stock since 1899. ALSTOM's global expertise and local resources have augmented United Group's capabilities in terms of rail engineering, signalling, communications and maintenance-support expertise.

The acquisition of ALSTOM's Australian and New Zealand transport operations in 2005 has further enhanced the group's capabilities in design, manufacturing, engineering, maintenance, refurbishment and spare parts.

The company's business strategy is to deliver total rail solutions by applying global expertise locally in partnership with a number of 'blue-chip' technology partners to enhance customers' operational performance.
