Wabtec is expanding its presence in the freight rail monitoring sector

Expanding its operations, Wabtec introduces a new freight wagon monitoring system to the market, developed in collaboration with Intermodal Telematics (IMT), this is reported by the railway transport news portal Railway Supply.

Scheduled for release in the first quarter of 2024, this innovative system incorporates sensors, telematics devices, and a cloud-based analytics platform.

Talgo and CRRC have submitted bids for the competition to supply 20 push-pull trains to Bulgaria

IMT, a successful developer of telematics solutions for freight wagons and tank containers, brings its expertise to the project.

The agreement allows Wabtec to offer this system to clients in North America and select regions with heavy train traffic.

The new system provides real-time tracking of wagon location and monitors key parameters such as brake position, door status, and cargo temperature.

Devices and sensors are integrated into both existing train compositions and Wabtec-manufactured wagon components.

Founded in 2013, IMT has already established successful collaborations with major companies, including the largest leasing company VTG and Hitachi Rail.
