Liebherr-Transportation Systems supplies China's rail industry with its products and looks forward to welcoming customers and visitors to the International Metro Transit Exhibition and CAMET Forum 2026 in Guangzhou (China).

From November 9 to 11, the company will showcase its latest technologies designed to address evolving requirements in the railway sector. At booth no. 104 in hall 19.1, visitors will have the opportunity to explore Liebherr's propane-based heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system for a driver’s cabin.

“MetroTrans is a great platform to network with different stakeholders from the rail industry,” said Andreas Walter, General Manager of Liebherr Transportation Systems (China) Co. Ltd. “As a part of the domestic rail market, we are very happy to take this opportunity to understand the needs of customers and learn more about market trends. It’s an honor to show our capabilities here. We hope to be able to contribute to the rail industry continuously and to cooperate with industry customers on future developments.”

Propane: Maximum cooling performance

The HVAC technology developed by Liebherr using propane as refrigerant is easy to service and guarantees rail vehicle operators a reliable product solution with low downtime. The concept takes all relevant safety requirements, such as the flammability for the refrigerant, into account.

Propane (R290) is a natural alternative to conventional refrigerants. In terms of pressure, it is very similar to the refrigerant R134.
