Market Challenges: Strict emission norms for diesel multiple units pose a threat as they require upgrades to existing HVAC systems

Strict emission norms for diesel multiple units pose a threat as they require upgrades to existing HVAC systems. Space constraints within trains restrict addition of more efficient systems. Maintaining airflow and thermal comfort across all passenger cabins with varying load and ambient conditions is difficult. High initial costs and long replacement cycles of train HVAC systems lower adoption of new technologies. Operators also have to ensure resilient systems for diverse climates across routes.

Market Opportunities: Need for improved passenger experience

More trains are being inducted globally to support rapid urbanization and expand rail network. This stimulates demand for advanced HVAC solutions. Systems with higher energy efficiency and lighter weight can help optimize operating costs. The need for improved passenger experience will drive innovations around thermal comfort, indoor air quality, and smart controls.
