Knorr-Bremse and Alstom signed a long-term framework contract to deliver equipment for Coradia Stream train family until 2025.
Under the contract, Knorr-Bremse will enjoy a conditional exclusivity until at least 2025 and according to the agreement, there is an option for a three-year extension until 2028.
Knorr-Bremse will supply high-quality electropneumatic braking systems, including the PistonSupply Eco oil-free compressor, the FlexControl flexible brake control unit, the SysControl electronic brake control system, electromagnetic track brakes and sanding systems.
The group will also supply two other types of systems for the regional trains including reliable, weight-optimised, low-maintenance entrance systems from its brand IFE, the global market leader for rail vehicle entrance systems, and modular, scalable, energy-efficient heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems from Merak, Knorr-Bremse’s brand for integrated climate control solutions. The framework contract creates synergies for both parties, making it easier for them to plan their business activities with this platform over the next few years.
Starting this year, Knorr-Bremse will supply braking, entrance and climate control systems for three major regional transport projects for operators Trenitalia and Danske Statsbaner (DSB), as well as the Expresskreuz Bremen network (LNVG) in Germany. It is anticipated that the work will continue into 2024.
Alstom has added to its existing order book for the Coradia Stream train family with three new orders from Italy, Denmark and Germany and Knorr-Bremse will be a supplier for all three projects. Knorr-Bremse will supply systems for Trenitalia medium-capacity EMUs. Alstom and Trenitalia signed a EUR 910 million contract for the supply of 150 Coradia Stream EMUs equipped with the ERTMS.
Knorr-Bremse will also supply systems for Danish rail operator DSB, who has signed a EUR 2.6 billion framework agreement with Alstom with a first firm order of 100 Coradia Stream trains.
In addition, Alstom has chosen Knorr-Bremse to supply systems for 34 modern high-capacity regional trains that are scheduled to start entering service on northern Germany’s Expresskreuz Bremen network from 2024.
