Knorr-Bremse is to equip at least 246 of\u00a0Stadler\u2019s CITYLINK streetcars<\/a>\u00a0with various system solutions. Under the terms of a major joint order, which\u00a0 includes options for up to 258 more vehicles, the LRVs will be supplied to six local\u00a0 transit companies in Austria and Germany. Their equipment will include innovative\u00a0 braking systems (including magnetic track brakes) and climate control systems. In\u00a0 addition, Knorr-Bremse RailServices will supply comprehensive services for these systems over a 32-year period, contributing to the rail vehicles\u2019 long-term technical\u00a0 and operational performance.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cFor the mobility transition to succeed, it\u2019s important to make rail transportation even more\u00a0 attractive and available,\u201d explains Dr. Nicolas Lange, Member of the Executive Board of\u00a0 Knorr-Bremse AG with global responsibility for the Rail division. \u201cWe\u2019re delighted to be able\u00a0 to contribute to the safety, reliability, comfort and convenience of rail travel by applying our\u00a0 systems expertise to the equipment required for our customer Stadler\u2019s long-term project.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Peter Radina, Member of the Management Board of Knorr-Bremse Rail Vehicle Systems,\u00a0 adds that: \u201cStadler\u2019s CITYLINK streetcars, which seamlessly interconnect urban and rural\u00a0 areas, represent a pioneering vehicle design. Among other things, we\u2019re supplying highly\u00a0 innovative braking systems that are precisely tailored to the customer\u2019s requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n

Knorr-Bremse will equip the 246 streetcars with system solutions according to a delivery\u00a0 schedule running since the end of 2023 through to 2031. For Stadler, the framework\u00a0 agreement includes an option for up to 258 additional vehicles. The major \u201cVDV TramTrain\u201d order is a joint project by six local transit companies, with Verkehrsbetriebe Karlsruhe (VBK\u00a0 \u2013 Karlsruhe\u2019s municipal transit authority) acting as the project manager.<\/p>\n

Braking system based on sophisticated, customized solutions\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The three-car rail vehicles feature designs that vary slightly by operator and intended operating location. Knorr-Bremse\u2019s market-leading expertise in systems and components\u00a0 played a key role in planning the customer-specific solutions. The LRVs will be equipped with\u00a0 fully hydraulic braking systems in which the interactions of key components have been further\u00a0 optimized \u2013 between, for example, the magnetic track brakes, their new hydraulic mountings, and new hydraulic units. Together with other enhancements, this further increases the\u00a0 braking systems\u2019 variability in different operating conditions and on routes with differing requirements. Knorr-Bremse is essentially supplying a sophisticated and highly reliable\u00a0 solution for a major long-term mobility project.<\/p>\n

Another feature that will characterize all the vehicles: Climate control systems from Knorr Bremse brand Merak will supply clean air at pleasant temperatures to both passenger\u00a0 compartments and driver\u2019s cab. These highly energy-efficient climate control systems, which\u00a0 include a heat-pump function, use CO2\u00a0as a natural refrigerant. Stadler is also turning to\u00a0 Knorr-Bremse RailServices for suitable life-cycle management solutions. The service\u00a0 contract, which covers a 32-year period, includes the delivery of spare parts, maintenance\u00a0 and other services for the various Knorr-Bremse system technologies aboard the vehicles.<\/p>\n
