Chicago order fuels 126% growth for China’s CRRC
First, in 2014, a $567 million system-wide car order for Boston’s MBTA. Then, this year, the largest single purchase of rapid transit cars in Chicago history, valued at $1.31 billion. Together, the contracts built momentum for China’s CRRC to more than double orders from outside China in the first half of this year, according to a financial release filed with the Shanghai Stock Exchange on Aug. 23, 2016.
