Wabtec Corporation (NYSE: WAB) won a major order to supply
sustainable heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) units
and efficient door systems for Norway-based Norske Tog’s new
regional trains. The new doors and Green Air HVAC systems provide
the customer with improved cost savings, efficiency,
sustainability, and an enhanced passenger experience.
“This order builds on the momentum in the transit market for our
technology solutions,” said Pascal Schweitzer, President of
Wabtec’s Transit business. “It also continues our strong
partnership with Alstom to help Norske Tog realize its goals. These
solutions will deliver the industry-leading performance in terms of
comfort, cost effectiveness, environmental stewardship,
operability, and safety.”
The company will supply the components to Alstom, which won a
contract to deliver up to 200 Coradia Stream™ regional trains to
Norske Tog. Wabtec will provide 180 saloon and 60 cab HVAC units
for the first batch of trains, along with 720 door systems and gap
fillers. First deliveries are expected in early 2024.
Wabtec's Green Air solution sets the new market standard for
natural refrigerant HVAC systems. It is the transit rail industry’s
first air conditioning system using natural R290 refrigerant, a
clean and environmentally friendly option. The refrigerant R290
used in the Green Air system has a Global Warming Potential (GWP)
of 0.02. Traditional heating, ventilation and air-conditioning
systems use synthetic refrigerants, such as R-134a, which has a GWP
of 1430. These high-GWP refrigerants trap substantially more heat
in the atmosphere than the natural R290-based solutions.
The Green Air solution also offers operational benefits of up to
30 percent in weight savings compared to CO2 applications. It
reduces the filling charge by 50 percent compared to 513a
refrigerant.
“Norske Tog is an industry leader, who adopts the latest,
innovative technologies that improve its operations and customer
experience,” said Schweitzer. “Their trains will be one of the
first to realize the benefits of our Green Air solution."
In addition to the HVAC system, the train will incorporate
Wabtec’s double-sliding door driven by ESP4C operator. The design
is 30 percent more compact and 20kg lighter than previous products,
generating space, energy, and cost savings. The door solution is
equipped with a sliding step and a range of special features
including touchless passenger detection, sustainable painting
system, high performances for low temperature conditions (thermal
and noise attenuation). These features make the doors reliable in
tough environments and ensure all-weather accessibility. The door
system also will include cybersecure-ready DLCNext+ control
units.
Alstom will begin delivering the new trains to Norske Tog in
2025. Once in service, this new fleet will provide a suburban and
fast rail service, connecting Ski and Stabekk in the greater Oslo
region.
