News: Parramatta trams to be built in Australia under bold new plan
Trams running on the second stage of the Parramatta Light Rail will be required to be built in Australia, in what could be become an industry-wide edict. Transport for NSW will hold briefings from next week with local manufacturers around the country to assess their ability to build major transport domestically.
“I don’t think anyone would argue that Australian-made manufacturing — although sometimes expensive due to union pressures — hasn’t always been first class.” NSW Transport Minister David Elliot said.
