Wabtec has secured approval as a RailPulse Certified Telematics Vendor, marking a significant milestone in its efforts to enhance rail shipment safety and efficiency through advanced railcar telematics technology.
“Telematics is an emerging technology in the rail industry, a market that currently lacks real-time visibility over a vast majority of its railcars worldwide,” said Evan Sevel, Vice President – Growth and Innovation at Wabtec. “With the RailPulse certification, Wabtec’s telematics platform will help advance the adoption of railcar tracking technology across the rail sector and drive meaningful business outcomes for our customers.”
Wabtec’s telematics portfolio includes the Gateway (CLT-20Ex), Bridge (CLT-M), and universal Load/Empty Handbrake sensors (LU-19-Ex). These sensors collect critical data on railcar fleets, converting it into actionable insights to improve operational efficiency and safety.
RailPulse, which sets universal industry standards for railcar telematics, imposes stringent certification requirements, including data quality, performance, mechanical robustness, and ongoing support. Wabtec’s telematics solutions successfully passed extensive testing, exceeding the required standards for uptime and data accuracy.
“We are excited to certify Wabtec as a RailPulse vendor,” said David Shannon, General Manager of RailPulse. “Wabtec has a rich history of pioneering next-generation solutions for railcars. Together, we will drive transformative change in the rail sector by combining our strengths and fostering a culture of innovation that will shape the future of rail transportation.”
