Liebherr Supplies Air Conditioning Units and Heating Systems to Hamburger Hochbahn AG

Each train will be equipped with three air conditioning units for the passenger compartment and two for the driver’s cabin. The heating systems, which use the waste heat from traction, are designed for the passenger compartment. All the units should be delivered by July 2017.

“This contract strengthens the position of Liebherr-Transportation Systems as the leading supplier of air conditioning systems on the German market. It is another milestone in our long and successful partnership with Bombardier Transportation”, said Dirk Junghans, Managing Director Sales, Marketing and Customer Services at Liebherr-Transportation Systems GmbH & Co KG.

The DT5 underground train was specifically developed for the requirements of Hamburger Hochbahn AG. It is the first train in the operator’s fleet that has air-conditioned passenger compartments for improved comfort.
