The Transit segment is responsible for the production and upkeep of components utilized in both new and existing passenger conveyance systems, including regional and high-speed trains, subway cars, light-rail vehicles, and buses. This division also renovates subway cars and supplies HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems, alongside doors for both buses and subways. This division caters to public transit agencies, municipal governments, leasing corporations, and manufacturers specializing in subway cars and buses. Beyond these core offerings, the company's extensive product portfolio further includes advanced electronically controlled pneumatic braking systems, various railway electronic devices, robust freight car undercarriages, crucial draft gears, couplers, and slack adjusters, as well as air compression and drying units.
