With its electro-hydraulic actuator, Liebherr is on board of the Alstom Twindexx, the flagship of SBB's long-distance services.
Products on board
Electro-hydraulic actuator for roll compensation and active lateral suspension for the bogie.
Technology
The extremely compact design integrates a complete hydraulic system and has the electronics fully integrated inside the actuator. By means of this actuator speeds in curves can be increased by up to 15 per cent, while maintaining comfort. This actuator concept can be also used as a cost-effective tilting solution.

FLIRT electrical multiple unit
Liebherr supplies to Stadler Polska series-produced propane-based HVAC systems for FLIRT trains (Fast Light Intercity and Regional Train).
Autorail à Grande Capacité (AGC)
HVAC units developed and manufactured by Liebherr are integrated in SNCF’s Autorail à Grand Capacité (AGC) trains by Alstom, which are operated in the Occitania Region (France). The air-conditioning system based on environmentally friendly air cycle technology uses only ambient air as a coolant instead of conventional chemical refrigerants.
Etihad DMU
The saloon and cab HVAC units are installed on high-speed diesel multiple unit trains manufactured by the Chinese company CRRC. The trains are operated by Etihad Rail, the national railway company of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), on UAE’s first national rail network.
X-Wagen
In close collaboration with Siemens Liebherr developed and produces a compact, closed, electrohydraulic brake actuator including all the components necessary to build-up and release the brake force as well as local control. The Siemens braking system demonstrates its advantages on the new modern underground railway in Vienna.
CTA 7000
Liebherr supplies level control systems for its customer CRRC Sifang America. These are installed in the 7000 series rail vehicles operated by the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA).
