Cab Cooling Retrofit for the Amsterdam Metro Fleet

The Amsterdam Metro has been retrofitted with DC Airco’s 24Vdc heavy duty cab cooling system, enhancing driver comfort and operational reliability across the network. The upgrade uses one of DC Airco’s robust rolling stock air conditioning units, designed specifically for railway environments and demanding day to day service conditions.

This retrofit ensures that metro operators benefit from a stable and comfortable working climate, even during high temperature periods or when trains operate on intensive duty cycles. The system provides reliable cooling performance tailored to driver cab requirements, supporting safer and more comfortable operations throughout the year.

The unit’s split type architecture allows it to be integrated efficiently into existing metro vehicles without requiring significant structural modifications. Its rugged construction and vibration resistant design make it suitable for continuous service in a high utilization urban transport environment. The retrofit solution also supports simplified maintenance and dependable long term operation.

By equipping the Amsterdam Metro with this upgraded cab cooling system, the operator improves working conditions for its staff and enhances overall service quality for passengers. The retrofit demonstrates the adaptability of DC Airco’s rail grade climate control technology and its suitability for modernizing existing rolling stock fleets.
