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.
