The Dandenong manufacturing plant

alone covers 41 acres, with 28,000

sq. metres under roof and direct

access to the rail network, as well as

a one kilometre light rail vehicle (LRV)

test track. Bombardier’s Centre of

Excellence for Industrial Design and

Engineering is based in both Brisbane

and Melbourne, for customizing rail

solutions to suit local requirements.

At 27 years old, Loulou Hammad,

Communications and Marketing Lead

for BT Australia, is one of the youngest

people on the Bombardier team, but

her knowledge of the brand, and

passion for promoting its value, is

exemplary. We spoke with Hammad

in-depth about the company’s long-

time presence in Australia, and its

positive effect on local economies

across the nation.

“We are ‘local’ in every sense of the

word,” Hammad noted. “Our industrial

design, engineering, manufacturing,

maintenance and rail signalling teams

are all based in Australia, allowing us

to maintain the highest level of local

content across the majority of our

projects.”
