A joint milestone ceremony was recently staged at the Dalian and Shiyan plants to mark production of the company’s one millionth compressor in 2020. The historic moment was jointly witnessed by the management team and all the employees in Dalian and Shiyan through a synchronized video link.

“This is a uniquely exciting moment, as not long ago we also celebrated the one millionth visco-damper. We are proud that our whole team across the regions has obtained high recognition from our customers through top-quality performance and superb service during the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Fei Xia, Executive Vice President of Knorr-Bremse Commercial Vehicle Systems China.

“There is no doubt that Knorr-Bremse has established a market leading position on the commercial vehicle compressor market in China. Furthermore, in combination with the widespread application of Knorr-Bremse air treatment in China, the company has secured a unique and essential position. We are confident that, through close cooperation and deep market penetration, we will open up new horizons,” he added.

Production of air compressors for new-energy and conventional vehicles

The two manufacturing plants for air compressors are currently running smoothly at Knorr-Bremse Commercial Vehicle Systems China. The main customers of the Shiyan plant are Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle Company Limited (DFCV) and Dongfeng Cummins Engine Co., Ltd (DCEC).

The Dalian plant mainly develops and produces air compressors for braking systems for new-energy and conventional vehicles. The plant has developed products for almost all of the National VI platforms for medium and heavy-duty engines and serves Japanese customers as well.

The company also provides core parts for top Chinese original-equipment manufacturers including FAW and DFCV, and engine makers such as WPCL and Cummins, as well as supplying low-noise and low-vibration electric compressors for use in new-energy buses. Knorr-Bremse is a reliable partner to leading Chinese customers.
