- Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation delivers advanced technology, integrated systems, and specialized services for the global freight rail and passenger transit sectors. The company organizes its operations across two main segments: Freight and Transit. The Freight segment is responsible for the manufacture and maintenance of components integral to new and existing freight cars and locomotives, alongside building new commuter locomotives and performing comprehensive overhauls on freight locomotives. This segment also provides sophisticated railway electronics, positive train control systems, signal engineering, and related heat exchange and cooling solutions. Its clientele includes prominent publicly traded railroads, leasing enterprises, original equipment manufacturers of locomotives and freight cars, and utility providers. The Transit segment focuses on producing and servicing components for various new and existing passenger transit vehicles, encompassing regional trains, high-speed trains, subway cars, light-rail vehicles, and buses. This also involves the refurbishment of subway cars and the provision of advanced heating, ventilation, and air conditioning equipment, as well as access doors for both buses and subways. This division caters to public transit authorities, municipalities, leasing firms, and manufacturers of subway cars and buses. Wabtec's expansive offerings further include state-of-the-art electronically controlled pneumatic braking solutions, comprehensive railway electronics, robust freight car trucks, essential draft gears, couplers, and slack adjusters, efficient air compressors and dryers, and crucial heat exchangers and cooling products. The company also offers track and switch components, friction products, new switcher locomotives, and specialized overhaul, modernization, and refurbishment services for both freight and transit locomotives and cars. Additionally, it supplies platform screen doors, pantographs, window assemblies, accessibility lifts and ramps for transit vehicles, and powerful traction motors. The company maintains a strong commitment to innovation, notably with the development of the FLXdrive, the world's first heavy-haul battery-electric locomotive, and continues to expand its digital intelligence capabilities with solutions like remote locomotive operation and advanced inspection technologies. Recent strategic acquisitions, such as Evident's Inspection Technologies division in July 2025, significantly bolster its portfolio in non-destructive testing and digital analytics, enhancing productivity, reliability, and safety across its diverse market presence, which extends to mining, industrial, and marine sectors. Founded in 1869, the corporation is headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
