In a significant personnel reshuffle, Knorr-Bremse AG has announced the upcoming departure of Dr. Jürgen Wilder, the pivotal figure heading the Rail Vehicle Systems division. Stepping into this crucial role is Dr. Nicolas Lange, who will assume his duties starting October 1, 2023. An industry veteran, Dr. Lange has been associated with Knorr-Bremse Group for over two decades, most recently helming the role of Chairman of the Management Board of Knorr-Bremse Rail Vehicle Systems.

Dr. Reinhard Ploss, the Supervisory Board's Chairman of Knorr-Bremse AG, lauded Dr. Wilder's contributions, highlighting his profound knowledge of the rail sector and the pivotal growth witnessed under his stewardship since September 2018. "He is someone who truly knows the rail industry inside out. While leading the division, he continued to successfully grow the global rail business of Knorr-Bremse and led it through some challenging times, including the corona crisis. As the company shifts its strategic focus, he has decided to move in a different direction himself. We wish him much success and all the best in his future endeavors,” comments Dr. Reinhard Ploss.

Reflecting on his appointment, Dr. Nicolas Lange expressed gratitude for the trust vested in him and acknowledged the solid foundation built by his predecessor, Dr. Wilder. "I am really looking forward to a trusting relationship with the entire Executive Board. The rail division is brimming with great ideas and innovations that we will energetically use in future months and years to benefit both our customers and Knorr-Bremse,” he added. With a career spanning over two decades at Knorr-Bremse, starting in the Rail Vehicle Systems division and progressively ascending to significant leadership roles, Dr. Lange's commitment is evident.
