<strong>Report</strong><br />

Against a background of general economic recovery in <strong>2010</strong>, <strong>Knorr</strong>-<strong>Bremse</strong><br />

benefited from its strong strategic position with two divisions: Rail Vehicle<br />

Systems and Commercial Vehicle Systems. In the rail division one of the main<br />

drivers of growth was a dramatic increase of more than 100% in Asian sales,<br />

while the truck division benefited from rapidly accelerating recovery in commercial<br />

vehicle markets. <strong>2010</strong> saw the company once again invest considerable<br />

processes. The response of the prestigious rating agencies Moody‘s and<br />

Standard & Poor‘s was to upgrade their ratings of the company once again.
