Next generation mobility with a view to the future of our planet

As the global market leader for braking systems and many other vehicle subsystems, Knorr-Bremse Rail Vehicle Systems ranks among the global forces that are driving the shift to sustainable transportation and next-generation mobility. Megacities are expanding, passenger numbers rising and both platforms and trains becoming more crowded. The growing demand for mobility, global supply chains, the need for more sustainable transportation and new trends in travel comfort leave the transportation sector facing worldwide challenges − and we are right in the middle of all this. All types of rail vehicle are affected and the entire vehicle life cycle, too. We are driven by the goal of adding value for our customers while at the same time making an effective and positive contribution to social and environmental developments.

Enabling the shift to sustainable transportation

We are pursuing the vision of a rapid, smooth and seamless flow of vehicles and fleets, of passengers and goods, of ideas and impulses. With this in mind, through our highly innovative and sustainable multi-system solutions we are making rail-borne transportation more reliable, better connected, safer, cleaner, more comfortable and more efficient.

The Rail division has an especially important part to play in the context of sustainability, because railways, trams and metro systems are key drivers of progress toward climate-friendly mobility.
