Chippenham-based Knorr-Bremse, the global market leader for
braking and other systems for rail and commercial vehicles, has won its largest
ever multi-system order for Chinese metro.
The German-owned company will be delivering braking and
entrance systems to equip Beijing’s new metro line 17, as well as HVAC systems
for the city’s line 19. With braking system deliveries having started in the
third quarter of 2020 and continuing to the end of 2023, Knorr-Bremse will
provide technologies worth a mid double-digit million-euro sum for 78
trainsets.
Manufactured by Chinese train producer CRRC, the rail
vehicles will be operated by Beijing MTR.
