Pacific National has awarded Downer EDI $1 billion contract to maintain the company’s locomotive fleet.
The contract is for a period of 10 years.
Grant Fenn, chief executive of Downer, said: “Under the agreement, Downer will provide a full suite of asset management services for over 300 Pacific National locomotives.
“This includes a range of scheduled and unscheduled maintenance services and a 24-hour Fleet Control Centre.
“The new features of the Agreement include remote monitoring of the assets and inspections while in service to ensure more locomotives are available for service, the locomotives are out on the tracks for longer hours and that they run at higher levels of reliability.”
