Knorr-Bremse Strengthens Rail Partnerships in China

For more than 30 years, Knorr-Bremse has collaborated closely with China’s rail sector. And now, despite global uncertainty, demand for modern metro fleets continues to rise in China.

Dr. Nicolas Lange, board member for Knorr-Bremse’s Rail division, emphasized the strategic nature of these wins, citing the company’s reliability and the rapid growth of China’s rail market.

Knorr-Bremse Increases Export Reach to Global Rail Markets

In addition to Chinese metro contracts, Knorr-Bremse will provide braking systems for over 100 CRRC locomotives headed for Kazakhstan. Production is managed at its Suzhou facility and through a Beijing joint venture.

The company also secured deals for light rail vehicle systems for Astana, Kazakhstan, and Belo Horizonte, Brazil. These projects expand Knorr-Bremse’s footprint in emerging urban transport markets.

Driven by its BOOST strategy, the company is enhancing its international production network. Export hubs in Suzhou and Palwal (India) are helping reduce lead times and boost supply chain efficiency.

By deepening domestic partnerships and strengthening global logistics, Knorr-Bremse continues to shape the future of rail technology and mobility across key international corridors.
