Platform partner for electropneumatic braking systems
To upgrade its regional train fleet and improve transportation capacity, Schleswig-Holstein’s local public transit association (NAH.SH) has ordered 42 Coradia Max trainsets from Alstom. Knorr-Bremse has been commissioned to supply braking, entrance, and sanitary systems for the new trains. Under a framework agreement concluded in 2021, whenever rail operators raise call-off orders for Alstom’s Coradia Max trains, Knorr-Bremse acts as a key supplier of systems for the versatile, high-performance train family.

The latest multi-system order covers electropneumatic braking systems, oil-free PistonSupply Eco compressors, highly configurable FlexControl Modular brake control systems, SysControl brake electronics, and SandGrip sanding systems. Knorr-Bremse subsidiary IFE is supplying 672 weight-optimized, maintenance-friendly entrance systems, plus an equal number of flexibly extendable sliding steps that will make it easier for passengers with reduced mobility, strollers, or heavy luggage to board and alight from the trains. Knorr-Bremse subsidiary Evac is contributing to passenger comfort by supplying SanSys sanitary systems (three units per trainset). Among other benefits, the sustainable sanitary system features lower water consumption and uses recyclable materials such as aluminum instead of fiberglass honeycomb in its wall panels.
