Boston transport authorities awarded China CNR Corp. a $567 million contract to supply trains for the city’s subway system, the first deal of its kind for a Chinese company in the U.S.
The deal would put CNR’s products in all of the world’s six continents, the company said in a statement today. The proposal is for CNR to supply 284 cars for the Boston subway’s orange and red lines, with an option for 58 more, according to the Massachusetts Department of Transportation’s website.
