5 Bombardier innovations you missed last year

1- INTERCONNECTED TRAVEL

The rail industry is reinventing itself to take a more modern, green and innovative place in the future of cities and communities. To play our part, we are building digital platforms and developing partnerships to create a highly connected, secure and seamless passenger experience. Our recently-developed goJoe app enables travelers to find and reserve a seat, check connections, receive upcoming transfers and even alert train staff of emergencies.

2- NEW ENERGY-SAVING PROPULSION TECHNOLOGY

Our innovative rail technologies are breaking new ground in sustainable mobility. Recently, we celebrated the successful demonstration of a new silicon carbide (SiC)-equipped MITRAC TC 1500 traction converter enabling up to 35% energy reductions on Stockholm's C20 metro.

3- FUEL EFFICIENCY PERFORMANCE

Our aircraft are built to deliver best-in-class fuel efficiency performance. Notably, the re-designed canted winglets of our Challenger 350 reduce fuel burn by up to 2% compared to the previous model. Furthermore, our Global 7500 aircraft (previously known as Global 7000) thrust engines require 8% less fuel burn and offer reduced NOX emissions.

4- ALTERNATIVE-FUEL FLIGHTS

In 2017, we successfully tested sustainable alternative jet fuels (SAJF) on our demonstration fleet, consisting of the Learjet 75, Challenger 350, Challenger 650 and Global 6000. aircraft
 

5- CABIN DESIGN REDEFINITION

Every inch of the CRJ Series new ATMOSPHèRE cabin has been carefully considered to maximize efficiency. The CRJ Series interior features larger bins, the largest windows in its class and the first and only regional jet lavatory designed for passengers with reduced mobility.
