MONTREAL — None of the challenges facing Bombardier’s railway business — including the threat of lost streetcar contracts, a bribery investigation and a super-sized European rival — will derail its plans to become a stronger, more profitable global competitor, division president Laurent Troger said Thursday.

“I am pretty convinced that we have all the assets in our hands to remain a leading edge company in this industry,” he told The Canadian Press in an wide-ranging interview from Ottawa.

Troger was in the nation’s capital to meet with federal officials, including Transport Minister Marc Garneau.

Earlier this week, he spoke with some Toronto Transit Commission board members amid a lawsuit and threats that the city’s transit authority and Ontario’s transportation agency Metrolinx will shift to other suppliers for future orders because of delays in delivering streetcars and a light rail transit vehicle prototype.
