Liebherr Transportation Systems (China) Co., Ltd. has been commissioned to deliver and service heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) units for installation in three high-speed trains that will be operated by Etihad Rail.
Liebherr Transportation Systems (China) has supplied heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems (HVAC) units to Chinese rolling stock manufacturer CRRC Qingdao Sifang Co., Ltd. The saloon HVAC units were installed in three high-speed trains. The trains are operated by Etihad Rail, the national railway company of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), on UAE’s first national rail network.
With extreme outside temperatures of up to 60°C and occasional sand gusts, HVAC systems must work reliably for comfortable travelling by train. Liebherr's HVAC technology solution ensures a constant, agreeable climate on board and can keep the inside temperature in the saloons below 23°C - even with full passenger capacity. The HVAC saloon units offer for the pressure-protected high-speed train application an innovative redundancy concept and are equipped with a best-in-class air filtration system.
“We are honored to deepen our cooperation with customers by providing our HVAC solutions for their high-speed trains,” said Andreas Walter, General Manager of Liebherr Transportation Systems (China) Co., Ltd. "We are looking forward to being part of UAE's new rail network and providing services and support thanks to our local presence in the Middle East region."
