Bombardier Transportation produced a wide variety of rail transportation vehicles, including high speed trains, regional, suburban and metro trains, trams, and locomotives as well as passenger carriages.

Bombardier's standard metro vehicles are the mid-sized fully automated and driverless INNOVIA Metro with the option for linear induction motor propulsion or a conventional rotary motor, and the high-capacity customizable MOVIA Metro, which is powered by conventional motors and can also be fully automated. In addition, Bombardier has produced many custom metro models not based on either model.

Monorails

[edit]

Bombardier Transportation's Transportation Group Incorporated acquired Universal Mobility Incorporated's UM III technologies in 1989.[3] These systems are either still in use or have been retired. Several monorails were manufactured before Universal Mobility was established - the first was manufactured by a local Montreal company, the following two manufactured by UMI predecessor Constam Corporation.
