It has committed to commencing procuring the replacement of the Tangara fleet of suburban passenger trains by March 2027, with a 50% local content 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 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.DetailsThe 55 x 8-car Tangara sets entered service in 1988, and today represent about a quarter of Sydney Trains' suburban passenger fleet. The NSW Government has committed to commence procuring a replacement fleet for Tangara by 2027, with a 50% local content target to ensure Australian and 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 will need replacing in the 2040s, and the Waratahs 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 manufacturing businesses.Status of ProjectTransport for NSW and Sydney Trains, in consultation with the newly established Transport Asset Manager of NSW (TAM), have finalised the Preliminary Business Case for suburban passenger fleet replacements, and will be seeking direction from the NSW Government on the delivery strategy and local content options in the coming months.This will shape the development of a Full Business Case and effective industry engagement to inform the procurement process for the initial fleet replacements targeted to commence within this term of Government.For further information visit Future Fleet Program Transport for NSWHow to register an Expression of Interest for the listed packagesWork packages currently available to submit an EOI are listed in the 'Work Packages' tab above.Register a Full Scope EOI if the entire item can be supplied.
