Canada’s Société de transport de Montréal will call for international tenders for its subway metro cars this year.
The contract, estimated to be worth C$3bn ($2.9bn), will involve the purchase of 765 subway cars with an option to order 288 more.
The transit agency has stipulated that 60% of the cars will be built in Quebec.
A consortium formed by Bombardier and Alstom is competing with CAF for the project, according to cbc.ca.
