On November 6th, 2012, The California Department of Transportation
(Caltrans) awarded the contract for 130 High-Speed Bi-Level Passenger
Railcars to be built by Nippon Sharyo and the prime contractor
Sumitomo Corporation of America (SCOA). The contract includes a base
order of 130 railcars for $352 million along with an option to
purchase an additional 300 railcars for $898 million, bringing the
contract total to $1.25 billion.
2012/11/ 6，日本車輛與住友商事贏得加州交通部 130輛高速雙層客車的合
約。這份合約包含價值三億五千兩百萬美元的 130輛客車採購案，另加上價值八
億九千八百萬，額外 300輛客車的選擇權。這份合約共計十億兩千五百萬美元。
Caltrans will execute the contract as the lead agency in a joint
agreement with the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) who is
representing a Midwest Coalition for the states of Illinois, Michigan,
and Missouri. 42 of the railcars will be delivered to California,
while the Midwest Coalition will receive 88 railcars. The first cars
are scheduled to be delivered in late 2015, with the final car to be
delivered by early 2018.
這份由加州交通部與伊利諾州協議的合約將由前者主導，而後者代表包含伊
利諾州、密西根州和密蘇里州的中西部聯盟。加州將採購其中42輛客車，其他88
輛則由中西部聯盟取得。第一批客車預計在2015年後半交付，其他客車則在2018
前半年交付。
Funding for the railcars will come from grants originated in The
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), which provided
for improvements in high-speed intercity rail transportation as a way
to stimulate economic activity. As a stipulation of the ARRA, the
railcars covered in the award to Nippon Sharyo will be manufactured
under a "100% Buy America" plan which sharply aims to increase the
amount of domestic content. To aid in meeting these requirements,
Nippon Sharyo Manufacturing, LLC was established as a new production
facility in July of 2012 in Rochelle, IL to conduct material
procurement, carbody manufacturing, final assembly, and testing.
採購這些車輛經費將會由2009年「美國振興計畫」(ARRA)中支付，其中包含
使城際鐵路運輸高速化以刺激經濟活動。在ARRA的條件下，這些日本車輛提供的
客車將會在「百分之百在美國採購」的計畫下製造，這項計畫目標在增加〔美國
〕國內的產值。為了協助達到這項目標，日本車輛已於2012年 7月在伊利諾州羅
謝爾設立新的生產設施以進行原料採購、車體製造及最後組裝測試。
The contracted railcars will be built to conform to the
specifications outlined in the Passenger Rail Investment and
Improvement Act of 2008 (PRIIA). PRIIA was developed to aid in
streamlining the procurement process by creating a standardized
specification and this contract will be the first time it has been
implemented to produce a railcar. The new Bi-Level railcars will
become the standard for the coming generation of passenger railcars,
and it is the goal of Nippon Sharyo and SCOA to gain a strong presence
in the market and expand the business segment.
合約中的車輛將會符合2008年「客運鐵路改善計畫」(PRIIA) 中的規格，
PRIIA 主要在建立標準化規格以使〔客車〕採購流程更有效率。合約中的雙層客
車將是首批在PRIIA 下製造的客車，將成為日後〔美國〕鐵路客車的標桿。日本
車輛和住友商事也希望藉此拓產〔美國鐵路客車〕市場，並佔有一席之地

日文版新聞稿最後一頁有這些車廂將投入的營運路線，包含以芝加哥為中心的中
短程（相較一般Amtrak長程客車一跑就至少10來個小時或跑兩三天而言）路線和
現行Amtrak California （加州交通部與美鐵合作）的路線。個人覺得外觀上比
現有Amtrak或其他通勤鐵路的雙層客車好看一些，端面也有日本風，不過看了日
車在美國的產品怎麼開始不期不待了啊... 日文新聞稿
