But stadler will be building ~half of the new vehicles for the franchise. The Tri mode flirts will likely be built at Bussnang or their Eastern European plants, whilst the tram trains could likely be built at the former vossloh plant at Valencia (which is where the other city links were built). As far as I can tell, all of the CAF DMUs will be built in Wales based on the "50% Welsh built fleet" claim.
Also, given that the Pacers are mainly based on valley line services - which are being entirely replaced by the tram trains and tri-modes, they should be amply covered. The DMUs are primarily replacing the medium and long distance fleets (ie 158, 175, and some proportion of the 150 & 153s)
