USD 157 million for Wabtec's brakes
Siemens India has placed an order for a new brake system for Indian Railways. Valued at around USD 157 million, the technology will be used to improve the performance, efficiency, and safety of Siemen’s new line of 1,200 electric locomotives.
Under the contract, Wabtec will supply Siemens with brake systems from its Hosur plant for eleven years and provide maintenance services for 35 years. Siemens will assemble the locomotives at the Indian Railways factory in Dahod, in the state of Gujarat, India.
The ILS braking system series is a product ‘made in India’, which is designed and developed by the India-based engineering team, Wabtec said. (ben)
