Product
Rolling Stock Diversity
CAF offers a diverse range of rolling stock—high-speed trains, metros, and commuter units—serving over 50 countries and delivering 1,200+ vehicles in 2024, targeting urban and intercity markets.
Products are customized to operators’ technical specs, meeting EN and APTA safety standards and averaging 98% fleet availability in recent contracts.
Modular designs allow upgrades and adaptation to standard, broad, and meter gauges plus AC/DC power systems, cutting lifecycle upgrade costs by ~15% in CAF tenders.
Solaris Zero-Emission Buses
Through its subsidiary Solaris, CAF offers electric and hydrogen buses that serve 250+ cities across Europe, delivering zero-emission urban transit and helping municipal fleets cut CO2 and NOx by up to 100% at tailpipe level.
By end-2025 Solaris buses had logged over 45 million km in service and CAF invested ~€220m (2023–2025) in advanced battery and hydrogen fuel-cell R&D to improve range and lifecycle costs.
Typical e-bus ranges now reach 350 km per charge and hydrogen models refuel in 10–15 minutes, reducing total cost of ownership versus diesel by an estimated 12–20% over 12 years.
Signaling and Digital Solutions
CAF’s Signaling and Digital Solutions include advanced interlocking and the LeadMind platform for real-time data analysis and predictive maintenance, which cut mean time to repair by up to 30% in pilot projects (2024) and lifted fleet availability by ~6 percentage points.
These digital tools optimize energy use—clients report energy savings of 8–12% per route—and Reduce operational costs; CAF invested €45m in R&D for digital signaling in 2024.
By integrating ERTMS (European Rail Traffic Management System), CAF ensures compatibility with EU and international standards, enabling cross-border services across 20+ countries where ERTMS is deployed as of 2025.
Lifecycle Maintenance Services
CAFs Lifecycle Maintenance Services offer full-service maintenance contracts, heavy overhauls, and modernization (interiors, propulsion) that typically extend fleet life by 7–15 years and can reduce total lifecycle cost by ~18% based on industry studies to 2024.
Contracts often include availability metrics (>=95% uptime) and multi-year revenue: CAF reported maintenance backlog growing ~12% YoY in 2024, reflecting steady demand.
This lifecycle approach converts one-time sales into recurring service margins (service EBITDA often 20–30%), keeping customers tied to CAF platforms and lowering operators’ capex needs.
Sustainable Propulsion Systems
CAF’s sustainable propulsion, including the Oaris high-speed platform and hydrogen regional trains, targets decarbonized rail demand; EU Fit for 55 and Green Deal funding grew green rail project budgets to €50B+ through 2024, boosting demand for such tech.
CAF has invested hundreds of millions in fuel cells and onboard batteries to serve non-electrified lines, cutting diesel use and CO2 per train-km by an estimated 70% versus diesel; these systems compete for international environmental grants and tenders.
- Oaris: high-speed, lower lifecycle emissions
- Hydrogen trains: ~70% CO2 reduction vs diesel
- R&D capex: hundreds of millions invested
- Market: €50B+ EU green rail funding through 2024
CAF: 1,200+ vehicles, 50+ countries, 20–30% service EBITDA and +12% maintenance backlog
CAF sells modular rolling stock, e-buses (Solaris), signaling (LeadMind) and lifecycle services, delivering 1,200+ vehicles in 2024 and servicing 50+ countries; service EBITDA 20–30% and maintenance backlog +12% YoY (2024).
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Vehicles 2024 | 1,200+ |
| Countries | 50+ |
| Service EBITDA | 20–30% |
| Backlog YoY (2024) | +12% |

Global Production Facilities
Strategic Focus on Core Markets
The company keeps a strong commercial footprint in core European markets, with Europe driving ~72% of 2024 rail and bus order value (EU orders €3.1bn of €4.3bn total).
Strategic offices and subsidiaries in Germany and Poland enable sub-30-day local response times and supported 48% of 2024 regional deliveries.
That focus pairs with expertise in EU rail rules (TSI technical specs, ERA safety regs) and reduces compliance-led delays by an estimated 22%.
Local Presence and Proximity
CAF locates maintenance depots and service centers within 50 km of major railway hubs—over 70% of its European facilities meet this target—cutting mean time to repair by ~30% and supporting multi-year service agreements that generate ~35% of aftersales revenue (2024). Physical presence in customers’ operational areas raises fleet availability to 98% on average and yields continuous feedback that reduced spare-part lead times by 22% in 2023.
Digital Service Delivery
Digital Service Delivery via the LeadMind platform lets CAF distribute software and data services globally, enabling centralized hubs to remotely monitor fleets in real time.
This channel removes physical limits so CAF delivers expert technical analysis to clients in Australia, Asia, and the Americas instantly, supporting 24/7 ops and reducing on-site costs by up to 40% in comparable industry cases.
The model shifts CAF toward cloud-based, service-oriented delivery; LeadMind handled over 12 million telemetry events in 2025 and drove recurring revenue growth of 18% YoY.
- Global real-time monitoring from centralized hubs
- Expert analysis delivered remotely to APAC, Americas, EMEA
- Up to 40% lower on-site costs (industry cases)
- 12M+ telemetry events processed in 2025
- 18% recurring revenue growth YoY
Expansion into North America
CAF’s North America push centers on US facilities opening in 2021–2024 to serve rising light-rail and metro orders, supporting ~$1.2bn regional backlog as of Dec 2025 and increasing local content to meet Buy America rules.
Local presence helps CAF compete with Siemens and Alstom for contracts worth billions—Buy America compliance raises award likelihood but adds 8–12% fabrication cost vs Spain.
Decentralized plants cut costs, €2.1bn bids & $1.2bn NA backlog; LeadMind lifts service rev 18%
CAF’s decentralized plants (Spain, France, UK, Brazil, Mexico, US) cut logistics 12–18% and lower compliance delays 22%, supporting €2.1bn bids and a $1.2bn NA backlog (Dec 2025); Europe drove ~72% (€3.1bn) of 2024 orders. LeadMind processed 12M+ telemetry events (2025), lifting recurring service revenue 18% YoY and cutting on‑site costs up to 40%.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Europe share (2024) | 72% (€3.1bn) |
| NA backlog (Dec 2025) | $1.2bn |
| Logistics saving | 12–18%/vehicle |
| LeadMind events (2025) | 12M+ |
| Recurring rev growth | 18% YoY |
