In this case, they probably got the trains cheaper by agreeing to have them services only at official service stations.
Still a shady practice but not worse than having expiring license keys for unlocking features or similar things
- KptMarchewa 3y agoTender process does not matter when you do crimes - just like you can't sell yourself to slavery or allow someone to kill you.
- sundvor 3y agoOh you want brakes with that? Sorry you forgot to renew your license.
- p_l 3y agoNope, there was separate tender for just trains, and for the servicing. NEWAG (manufacturer) won the train contract, but lost the servicing contract tender. Under current rules they had to provide as part of the first contract complete documentation for servicing that any legitimate (vetted & certified) 3rd party company could then use. By servicing I mean literally taking the train apart and handling individual assemblies to original manufacturers at times. So it is very shady, unethical, and illegal.
