Canada listed Bombardier (TSE:BBD) is set to sell trains to Israel Railways as it transitions to electic operations.

The deal announced today is said to be worth US$340mln.

The first deliveries are earmarked for the end of next year (2017).

Chief executive of Israel Railways Boaz Tzafrir said: "The Israel Railways electrification project is advancing and becoming a reality.

“The transition to electric operation, a standard practice in all advanced countries, will be a significant leap forward.”

The agreement includes an option for an additional 32 locomotives.
