Press releases | 09/17/2024 Liebherr maintains HVAC systems for Toronto Rocket Subway fleet

Liebherr-Transportation Systems wins another contract for the maintenance of HVAC systems installed in the Toronto Rocket subway trains from Alstom. They have been operated by the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) since 2008.

Following the successful completion of maintenance last year, the new contract includes the maintenance and inspection of an additional 40 passenger compartment air-conditioning systems from March 2024 until March 2025. They will be preventively maintained and technically inspected by qualified Liebherr service technicians at Liebherr-Canada Ltd. in Burlington (Canada). The customer tailored service for the HVAC systems enables both the highest possible availability of the vehicles and a high level of comfort for the passengers.

"We are proud that we have once again been able to gain the trust of our customer," says Wolfgang Boettcher, Head of Customer Support at Liebherr-Transportation Systems in Korneuburg (Austria). "This follow-up order confirms our high service quality and the expertise of our highly qualified employees. We look forward to continuing our successful collaboration and making an important contribution to the energy efficiency of our customer’s subway vehicles."

This follow-up order includes extensive inspections, cleaning the systems, checking and replacing worn parts and those that are subject to the preventive actions in the maintenance manual as well as ensuring the efficient and trouble-free operation of the HVAC units. This not only helps to extend the products’ life span, but also to reduce operating costs and improve the air quality in the passenger compartments.
