Wabtec Corp. will supply heating, ventilation and air conditioning units in 56 new Stadler Rail trains under an agreement with the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority.
The order calls for 336 HVAC units, 224 of which will be installed in passenger cars and the remaining 112 to be installed in driver cabins. The roof units are designed to be mounted in the middle of the cars and have air handling on each side, providing additional cooling and heating capacity, Wabtec officials said in a press release.
The CQ400 four-car trainsets will be assembled at Stadler’s plant in Salt Lake City.
"We are proud to be supporting the fleet renewal for Atlanta’s public transit system and expand our transit operations in the United States," said Pino Cordini, managing director for Wabtec’s transit segment. "Our service-proven HVAC system will improve the passenger experience by providing a comfortable cabin environment on MARTA trains regardless of extreme seasonal temperature."
