About

The QUEENSLAND NG project from 2015 to 2017 involved supplying 108 automatic couplers, 540 semi-permanent couplers, 108 adapters, and 375 inter-car gangways for Queensland Rail. Alstom, the supplier of the complete trains, worked with us to ensure the delivery of the necessary coupling systems. This project was part of a wider effort to modernise Queensland’s railway network.
