Liebherr to Overhaul HVAC Units of ETR 700 High Speed Trains

Liebherr-Transportation Systems will overhaul and maintain cab cooling and saloon air-conditioning systems, which are installed in ETR 700 high speed trains operated by Trenitalia on the route Milano - Bologna – Ancona – Lecce.

Liebherr-Transportation Systems has been commissioned by AnsaldoBreda S.p.A., Naples (Italy) to provide maintenance, repair and overhaul services for 39 cab cooling and 157 saloon air-condidioning systems on board 19 ETR 700 high speed trains. Each ETR 700 train consists of eight cars and two driver’s cabs and eight saloon HVAC units are installed in each car.

The air conditioning systems have been designed and manufactured by Liebherr. In addition to mandatory examinations, the certified service technicians from Liebherr-Transportation Systems will also perform on-site repairs on the refrigerant circuits of the air conditioning systems. These measures will further enhance the safety, availability and reliability of the HVAC units and consequently the travel comfort for both, passengers and the drivers.

The contract is complemented with the provision of a stock of spare parts, which will permit the service team to perform the corrective maintenance directly on site of Trenitalia S.p.A..
