Wabtec Approved as a RailPulse Certified Telematics Vendor

PITTSBURGH – March 06, 2025 – Wabtec Corporation (NYSE: WAB) announced today that it secured approval as a RailPulse Certified Telematics Vendor. This certification marks a significant milestone in the company’s ongoing commitment to improving the safety and productivity of rail shipments through its advanced railcar telematics platform.

"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 solutions include the Gateway (CLT-20Ex), Bridge (CLT-M) and universal Load/Empty Handbrake sensors (LU-19-Ex). These sensors capture critical hidden information regarding a customer’s railcar fleet and turns it into actionable data that improves operational efficiency and safety.

As the coalition that establishes the rail industry’s universal standards for telematics, RailPulse has rigorous requirements for obtaining the certification which include ensuring data quality, performance, mechanical robustness, and ongoing support. Wabtec's telematics solutions passed extensive testing, and the company’s portfolio exceeded the requirements for uptime and data accuracy.
