New significant orders
Liebherr-Transportation Systems in China will supply heating, ventilation and air- conditioning (HVAC) systems for Middle East railway projects through orders received from CRRC Qingdao Sifang.
This year, Liebherr in China received two major orders from CRRC Qingdao Sifang Co., Ltd. to provide air-conditioning systems for railway projects in the Middle East.
Liebherr-Transportation Systems (China) Co., Ltd. and Zhejiang Liebherr Zhongche Transportation Systems Co., Ltd. have been working diligently on their HVAC systems to master severe weather and environmental conditions, such as high temperatures as well as sand and dust impacts from potential sandstorms.
Evidently, hard work pays off as Liebherr-Transportation Systems (China) has received an order from CRRC for the delivery of HVAC units for installation in a Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) train to be operated in the United Arab Emirates by Etihad Rail, whereas Zhejiang Liebherr Zhongche Transportation Systems has received an order from CRRC to deliver HVAC units for the newly established Ramadan Railway Line in Cairo (Egypt).
Nicolas Bonleux, Chief Commercial Officer at Liebherr-Aerospace & Transportation Systems SAS, underlines the importance of these two orders for Liebherr’s future transportation systems business, “We are extremely proud about our latest success stories in China, which underline Liebherr’s ability to open up a new chapter for our customers in this region as well as for our customers around the world. These orders reflect our capability to provide solutions for future growing regional markets. Next to our technological excellence and well-known quality standards, our global customer proximity is key to our continuous success. The Middle East railway market is very important to us and with our worldwide engineering and production network we are looking forward to further address all of its needs.”
