5.5km: roughly the length of 10,000 people lined up, or 1,250 cars bumper to bumper, or even 72 Boeing 747 airplanes in a row. This is the length of the Platform Screen Door (PSD) fa?ade that Wabtec Corporation will install on the new #Hamburg Metro U5 Line. ? Wabtec will install the PSDs in collaboration with Alstom and Hamburger Hochbahn AG and is excited to be part of this new metro adventure. This long-term partnership further demonstrates our ability to deliver innovative solutions for complex, multi-year projects. #PassengerSafety #PassengerExperience #PlatformScreenDoors #WabtecTransit

In the last year, Wabtec Corporation announced two significant locomotive orders worth over half-a-billion dollars to support the #Simandou project, a collaboration between the Republic of Guinea's government and business partners to mine the world's largest untapped high-quality iron-ore reserve. These orders are among the largest international orders in our history and signify a major breakthrough in Guinea's efforts to leverage its natural resources for economic growth and social development. Successfully securing the locomotive orders, with contracts from two top-level consortia was not an easy task. It reflects our team’s patient and persistent approach, technical excellence, investment in Africa and its people, and consistent value delivery.

For the second year in a row, Wabtec Corporation colleagues in the UK ventured out of their comfort zones and slept on a railway station floor to raise awareness and funds for vulnerable children in the UK, India, and Tanzania. This year, seven Wabtec employees, (including five from Finance) joined the #RailwayChildrenSleepout, standing in solidarity with children facing life on the streets due to abuse, neglect, or poverty. Thanks to this initiative, the team has raised ￡3,200 from?118?donors so far. Anne Close, Director FP&A for Wabtec in the UK, commented: "This was tough, but nothing compared to what these children endure every night." The Railway Children charity works tirelessly to reach these children before they are lost to the dangers of street life. By providing shelter, education, and support, they help build brighter futures. #BigStationSleepout #CaringForOurCommunities #PeopleFirst #WeAreWabtec

?? Keep Your Fleet Running Smoothly this Winter with Our New Arc Protection Design ?? Winter is tough on railway operations. Below-zero temperatures often cause arcing, where the contact strip and overhead line lose contact, creating high voltage sparks. This leads to significant wear and shortens the lifespan of carbon strips and catenaries. But what if you could minimize the risks and keep your fleet running reliably? Introducing our Arc Protection Design: a winter contact strip with a robust aluminum carrier, fully covered by carbon, and increased bonding section, engineered to protect against arcing and its damaging effects. Benefits for operators include: ?? Reduced Maintenance Costs: Less frequent replacement of carbon strips and preserved catenary. ?? Reliable Operations: Fewer disruptions for greater availability and a better passenger experience Don’t let winter slow you down. Save time, reduce costs, and protect your assets with Arc Protection Design. ?? Contact us today! #WabtecTransit #PowerCollection #Pantograph #ArcProtectionDesign #ExpandThePossible #WeAreWabtec
