Wabtec wins major services contract
Manufacturer Wabtec has signed a services contract with leasing company Akiem to provide maintenance of critical equipment for locomotive fleets in Europe.
The agreement, which is to run for the next five years, covers brake components, pantographs and Heating, Ventilation and air conditioning for the company’s Prima and Traxx fleets in France and Germany. Wabtec and Akiem’s objective is to maximise asset availability for the operator’s customers, the partners said.
Wabtec's European footprint and its expertise in the products covered by the contract played a key role in building this relationship. The proximity of Wabtec's teams to Akiem's maintenance sites will allow for optimal equipment monitoring. (ben)
