Siemens and Bombardier reached an agreement with officials on a reworking and testing concept for welds that were occasionally not executed properly.
The order is based upon two framework agreements signed with DB in 2008 and 2013. Delivery of the 25 trainsets is scheduled to start in 2019.
The project, which starts next week, will utilize Hyperloop Transportation Technologies crowdsourcing and community collaboration, while implementations will be financed by Deutsche Bahn.
The total potential contract value is up to $2 billion and includes options for the call-off of up to 450 locomotives by the year 2020.
The order for 12 Twindexx Vario trains was placed at the end of March 2013 and valued at approximately $145 million.
The travel website now helps customers find rail itineraries for continental Europe. TripAdvisor partnered with Deutsche Bahn, Rail Europe, and other European rail providers to give travelers access to train choices. Rail itineraries will be shown alongside flight choices where relevant.
The order is valued at approximately $485 million. The double-deck coaches and locomotives are scheduled to enter service at the end of 2013.
The contract is worth approximately $78 million. The trains to be equipped are 71 ICE-T tilting trains and 50 ICE3 trains, which are operated in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Thirty-six new three-car and 15 four-car Talent 2 suburban trains will enter service beginning December 2013 in and around Leipzig on the "Mitteldeutsche S-Bahn" network.
The order, worth approximately $42 million, is based on a 2003 framework agreement for the delivery of 298 doubledeck coaches with an option for a further 300.
