The company will deliver electropneumatic braking systems, such as the PistonSupply Eco oil-free compressor, the SysControl electronic brake control system, the FlexControl flexible brake control unit, electromagnetic track brakes and sanding systems.

Furthermore, Knorr-Bremse’s brand IFE will provide entrance systems while its other brand Merak will supply heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems for the regional trains.

Knorr-Bremse will also function as a provider of supply systems for three electric multiple units (EMU) orders received by Alstom.

In a statement, Knorr-Bremse said: “Alstom has added to its existing order book for the Coradia Stream train family with three new orders from three different European countries and Knorr-Bremse will be a supplier for all three projects.”

Aa part of the first order, the firm will deliver supply systems for Trenitalia medium-capacity EMUs.

Secondly, Danish rail operator DSB, who has signed a framework agreement with Alstom with a first firm order of 100 Coradia Stream trains, will also receive supply systems.

Knorr-Bremse has also been selected to provide systems for 34 modern high-capacity regional trains.

These trains are expected to commence services on northern Germany’s Expresskreuz Bremen network from 2024.

Last year in December, Knorr-Bremse received a long-term order from Siemens Mobility to enable remote condition monitoring of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.
