Introduction

The National Rolling Stock Procurement Pipeline supports the Australian rail manufacturing industry by making passenger rolling stock procurements more visible across Australian states and territories. It aims to increase coordination, cooperation and transparency across rolling stock projects.

The pipeline is an initiative under the National Rail Procurement and Manufacturing Strategy. The Office of National Rail Industry Coordination (ONRIC) maintains the pipeline in collaboration with state and territory governments, rail operators and the Australian rail manufacturing industry.

The pipeline compiles current and near future passenger rolling stock procurement. It also shows potential opportunities for aligned procurement, by displaying data and characteristics of the existing national passenger rolling stock fleet operating on Australia’s railways. 

You can use the pipeline to:

  • get an overview of rolling stock and procurements across Australia
  • see when and where future rolling stock maintenance or upgrading may occur
  • find opportunities to collaborate on future projects across different fleets and jurisdictions.

You can access the pipeline data as: 

  • interactive charts that display rolling stock information
  • a comprehensive procurement data table
  • analysis and key findings of procurements
  • a downloadable data file containing procurement and passenger rolling stock information.

How we develop the data

We work to update the pipeline to include new procurements and updated national passenger rolling stock data. We will refine the pipeline in response to ongoing industry feedback and expand our data, analysis and modelling work.  

We source and compile the data from public information and work with Australian state and territory governments to verify the data. We also work closely with the National Rail Manufacturing Advocate, the Rail Industry Innovation Council and the Bureau of Infrastructure and Transport Research Economics. 

Give us feedback

We’re continuing to develop and improve the pipeline.

Let us know your feedback. How useful are the interactive charts and data table? Can you find the information you are looking for? Do you know of any other rolling stock procurements or have additional information that could help us develop the pipeline?
