The South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) has confirmed with Engineering News Online that it has not conducted any verification of local content in the 1 064 locomotives being acquired by Transnet and that it also does not have an agreement with Transnet to do so. Transnet awarded the R50-billion contract, dubbed ‘10-64’, to four suppliers in 2015. General Electric is supplying 233 diesel locomotives and China North Rail 232 diesel locomotives, while China South Rail (CSR) and Bombardier Transportation (BT) are supplying 359 and 240 electric locomotives respectively.
