LAS SOLUCIONES COMPLETAS y llave en mano son cada vez más demandadas, debido a la cada vez mayor complejidad de los grandes proyectos ferroviarios.

CAF tiene la capacidad de poder liderar y participar en este tipo de proyectos, debido a varios factores:

Los numerosos contactos con potenciales clientes tanto en España como en todo el mundo.
La relación y colaboración durante muchos años con empresas de sectores afines a la industria ferroviaria, como las empresas de obra civil y el sector eléctrico.


Por todo esto, CAF posee la experiencia, los contactos y la capacidad de interlocución para acometer proyectos integrales llave en mano.

turnkey delivery


Explanation:
"delivery" is more appropriate than "supply" here, since it refers to the act of handing over the product to the client. However, "turnkey" or "turn-key" are correct.

turnkey solution


Explanation:
I'm modifying my previous answer after seeing Russell Gillis' response to another contributor.

"Turnkey solution" is by far the best option. If you opt for this answer, Russell should ge the KudoZ points. Is there a way to do that?

Oops! I\'m getting so enthused I\'m putting my foot in my mouth. Maria Luisa was the one who came up with \"turnkey\" in the first place, which is really the \"key\" word here and so is equally deserving at least.

I\'ll shut up and stop telling you who to give points to. It\'s your decision, after all.

agree  Russell Gillis: Thanks for your kind comments Alan. I work for a company that provides precisely this for control room centres, and we advertise it as a "turnkey solution".
