Products

As indicated by the company name, the company mainly produces railroad vehicles. Since the early-1980s, Kawasaki has received orders from customers in foreign countries, including the Republic of Ireland, Bangladesh and the United States. All products manufactured for the US rail market are sold through Kawasaki Rail Car Inc., another division of Kawasaki Heavy Industries. An assembly plant in Lincoln, Nebraska produces fully completed cars and "knocked down" cars. Because of substantial sales to the New York City Subway and various commuter lines, an additional assembly plant was established in Yonkers, New York, in 1986 for final assembly of cars built in Lincoln, at the site of a former Otis Elevator Company factory.[1] The rolling stock of the Dhaka Metro Rail's first line, MRT Line-6, is made by Kawasaki.

In November 2020, Kawasaki Heavy Industries announced that it would spin off some of its businesses, including the rolling stock division from October 2021.[2]
