Knorr-Bremse accesses Japanese high-speed market
Japanese railway company JR East has commissioned Knorr-Bremse to supply braking components for the traction bogies of 23 units of the new E5 generation of the Shinkansen high-speed train. Knorr-Bremse has thus succeeded in accessing the Japanese high-speed rail market. The Executive Board Member of Knorr-Bremse AG responsible for the Rail Vehicle Systems division, Dr. Dieter Wilhelm, attributed this success to the company's persistent efforts in the Japanese rail vehicle market over many years and its outstanding expertise, particularly in respect of high-performance brakes.
