Siemens Mobility announced it was awarded a 12-year Technical Support Spares Supply Agreement (TSSSA) contract by North County Transit District (NCTD) in San Diego, Calif., for their fleet of Siemens Sprinter Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) vehicles.

Our comprehensive and state-of-the-art supply, support, and maintenance services will help them improve operations by increasing the reliability and availability of their rail systems, which will ultimately enhance the passenger experience and support passenger growth in the years ahead,” said Johannes Emmelheinz, CEO of Customer Services at Siemens Mobility.
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.
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.
