As China’s rapid urbanization fuels demand for efficient rail transport, Liebherr-Transportation Systems is set to highlight its sustainable technologies at Metro Trans China 2025, taking place in Qingdao from September 18–20.
At booth S5431, hall 5, Liebherr will present its propane-based heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems, including both a driver’s cabin unit and a saloon unit. The innovation underscores the company’s commitment to providing environmentally friendly, reliable, and energy-efficient solutions for the railway industry.
Propane (R290), the refrigerant used in Liebherr’s HVAC technology, offers significant advantages over traditional refrigerants. With a global warming potential (GWP) as low as three, it combines maximum cooling performance with minimal environmental impact. Designed with strict safety standards in mind, the system is easy to service and ensures low downtime for rail vehicle operators.
Metro Trans, China’s largest railway exhibition, serves as a hub for industry leaders, suppliers, and decision-makers to exchange insights and explore the latest technological advancements.
“This event is a great platform to network with different stakeholders from the rail industry,” said Andreas Walter, General Manager of Liebherr Transportation Systems (China) Co. Ltd. “We are honored to showcase our capabilities and look forward to working closely with customers and partners to shape the future of sustainable rail transport.”
By bringing propane-based HVAC technology to the Chinese rail market, Liebherr continues to support the country’s efforts to expand its urban rail networks and make them more climate-friendly and energy-efficient.
