Rolling stock

[edit]

In the intro it say: ”Between 1989 and 1999, the company was also active in the rolling stock manufacturing sector.”

I don’t think that is true. Both ASEA and Brown, Boveri & Cie produced rolling stock (EMU:s and locomotives) right up until the merger in 1988. When it comes to ASEA, I know that products developed by ASEA (like X10-family of EMU:s and X2000) were built as ABB.

It seems implausible that rolling stock part weren’t merged with the rest of the companies right from the start, giving a gap of a year. 155.4.85.190 (talk) 15:10, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, ASEA was producing locomotives in sweden since the early 1900's

The section "Rolling stock manufacturing" seems to only to refer to activities in the UK.
ABB was producing rolling stock before 1989 at several locations mainly in Sweden and Switzerland since both ASEA and BBC had produced rolling stock since the early 1900's. 89.233.240.133 (talk) 16:11, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
