Siemens, Europe’s largest engineering corporation, uses DuPont products, technology and global presence for the surface finish on its high speed trains, type Velaro CRH 3.
DuPont CoatingSolutions has provided support to Siemens in China, including the product launch and prototype demonstration that successfully was completed with the help of German DuPont applications engineers Manfred Kohler and Eberhard Ebneter and the Chinese CoatingSolutions team.
“We contribute to the global success of Siemens high-speed trains with our products, knowledge and flexibility. The close cooperation of our diverse teams immensely strengthens our position in this market,” said Peter von den Kerkhoff, European Transportation Rail team leader and global Siemens team member.
The Chinese government already has ordered 78 high-speed trains, most of which are to be produced in China.
