PITTSBURG — Beginning this fall, BART’s new train cars will all be Bay Area-made.
The company that makes the cars, Canada-based Bombardier, Inc., is moving into a Hatachi-owned warehouse on Loveridge Drive in Pittsburg, company representatives said Friday.
Bombardier is leasing 122,750 square feet of the facility, with Hitachi retaining about 67,000 square feet, said Kolette Simonton, Pittsburg’s assistant director of economic development.
Bombardier will start with around 50 new jobs at the Pittsburg plant in September, when crews are expected to begin work on BART’s cars, eventually ramping up to 115 employees within five years, she said.
