Wabtec said it has received a $248 million order for Evolution Series ES43ACmi locomotives and services from Winning Consortium Simandou to support rail operations at its high-grade iron ore project, located in the east of Guinea.
The freight and rail company said the agreement follows a locomotive order a few months earlier from SimFer to serve its operations at Simandou.
The combined orders for the project, valued at more than $500 million, represent one of Wabtec's largest international locomotive agreements in the past five years.
The ES43ACmi is a dual-cab locomotive with a 4,500HP Evolution Series engine. Wabtec will begin delivering locomotives for the Simandou project in 2025.
