Liebherr-Transportation to Provide HVAC Systems for Saudi-Bound Stadler DMUs

Liebherr-Transportation Systems has confirmed it will supply HVAC systems for a fleet of new Stadler Intercity diesel multiple units (DMUs) destined for operation in Saudi Arabia.

The new units will enter service on the country’s extended east-west corridor, with services set to be operated by Saudi Arabia Railways (SAR)

The vehicle contract consists of ten train sets, each featuring five passenger coaches and two power cars, with an additional option for ten train sets.

Roland Friedrich, Deputy General Manager at Liebherr-Transportation Systems Mannheim GmbH, said:

This order is proof of our technical expertise.

It is a major milestone for us and demonstrates our ability and commitment to delivering high-performance, reliable climate system solutions for demanding applications worldwide. We thank Stadler for their trust in us and we are proud to contribute to SAR’s vision of modern and efficient mobility.

Liebherr will also be providing customer service operations for both the vehicle manufacturer, Stadler, and the end customer, SAR. The company’s established service network within the Middle East will enable it to carry out any and all relevant maintenance and service activities locally, reducing response times.
