    The North County Transit District (NCTD) awarded Siemens Mobility a 12-year Technical Support Spares Supply Agreement (TSSSA) contract for its fleet of Siemens Sprinter Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) vehicles. 

    With a value of $80 million, the contract includes base services for the 12-year term with a three-year option to be performed on a task order basis if executed. These Sprinter DMU vehicles have been in revenue service since 2008. 

    “NCTD is excited about this agreement with Siemens which complements a similar agreement with Siemens for our Tier IV locomotive fleet. The two technical services and material agreements with Siemens supports NCTD’s Zero Delay emphasis and will allow NCTD to advance the implementation of a world class rail operations as we insource commuter and hybrid rail operations and maintenance,” said Matthew Tucker, CEO, NCTD. 

    “Siemens Mobility is proud to partner with North County Transit District as we optimize fleet availability and reliability in San Diego,” added Michael Tyler, president, Siemens Mobility Customer Services in the U.S. “With fewer service interruptions we are keeping NCTD trains and riders on the move.” 

    Under the terms of the contract, Siemens Mobility will provide full-time on-site employees for technical expertise, materials management, project management and engineering support. 

    Siemens Mobility will also provide CorMap services, a digital Maintenance Equipment Asset Management System, to all vehicles in the NCTD rolling stock fleet including bi-level coaches, charger locomotives and the sprinter DMU vehicles. CorMap supports the rolling stock fleet to optimize and reduce maintenance costs by improving data quality while increasing fleet reliability and availability. 

    As part of this agreement, NCTD’s Siemens DMU fleet will have a wide network of available support including direct, immediate connections to support from local and national Siemens Mobility depots, as well as its corporate services headquarters and plant in Sacramento. NCTD will also have access to Siemens’ exclusive global support network for purchasing, engineering and maintenance innovation.
