This includes 98% of labour based in Victoria servicing the VLocity and Classic fleet with 69% of maintenance materials supplied by local Victorian suppliers. Alstom have also committed to a 6% spend with 40 local social benefit suppliers over the life of the contract. "We will establish a fleet control centre in South Dynon, based on Alstom's UK Voyager Control Centre which will further improve reliability and availability of the fleet. Local suppliers across Victoria will also play an important part in supplying parts, overhauls, repairs, preventative maintenance and wheel turning; the impact to the rail supply chain in Victoria will be profound", Mr Dupond added. Additional predictive maintenance technology that Alstom will bring to the contract will also result in a reduction of fuel costs and carbon emissions from the VLocity and Classic Fleet. "VLocity is without doubt a jewel in the crown of Victoria's rail fleet.
