Historic Order for KIEPE in Chicago!
We are thrilled to announce a significant milestone for KIEPE together with the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA): the modernization of traction equipment of 266 CTA 3200 Series railcars, with the option to modernize an additional 210 2600 Series railcars at the CTA’s discretion.
▶ KIEPE will deliver traction modernization kits to the CTA. Our solution will be equipped with the advanced drive technology, which reduces energy consumption, maintenance, and life cycle costs.
▶ The production will take place at the KIEPE facility in Alpharetta, GA.
▶ By extending the life of the CTA's railcars, KIEPE contributes to sustainable mobility in Chicago.
▶ The first modernized railcars are set to enter service in 2027.
Alexander Ketterl, Managing Director of KIEPE:
"In the USA, I was delighted to see how sustainable public and regional transport is increasingly coming into focus. With its expertise, KIEPE can reliably contribute to the implementation of these transportation projects, and we are very much looking forward to the joint rail project with CTA."
Daria Baryshnikova, Head of Modernization of KIEPE:
"We are thrilled to announce this significant project win, which highlights our expertise in delivering cutting-edge upgrades for existing railway vehicles. By choosing to invest in modernization, the CTA is making a sustainable and economically sound decision."
We are proud to support the CTA on this journey and demonstrate the transformative impact of our advanced traction systems.
