Note that the non-compliant DMUs were generally cheaper than the compliant ones, with Sumitomo as an outlier. Hell, just compare the two Siemens bids.

It is interesting they (Sumitomo or Nippon Sharyo) were so much cheaper than the others. I call that competition, although I'll admit I have no idea how much profit they will make at that price.
